Abstract

A chaotic image encryption algorithm based on circular shift functions proposed for high security is analysed in this paper for retrieving encrypted images. Proposed retrieval scheme is key independent and based on divide and conquer attack where neighbourhood similarity characteristic of images is applied. The simulation results show that retrieved images have very good visual perception quality and are as similar as original images. The analysis indicates that above algorithm in present form is insecure and encrypted images can be retrieved efficiently.
