Abstract

Recently, a new image scrambling (i.e., encryption) scheme without bandwidth expansion was proposed based on two-dimensional discrete prolate spheroidal sequences. A comprehensive cryptanalysis is given here on this image scrambling scheme, showing that it is not sufficiently secure against various cryptographical attacks including ciphertext-only attack, known/chosen-plaintext attack, and chosen-ciphertext attack. Detailed cryptanalytic results suggest that the image scrambling scheme can only be used to realize perceptual encryption but not to provide content protection for digital images.
