Abstract

A generalized amplitude-phase retrieval algorithm (GAPRA) attack on ‘double images encryption method with resistance against the special attack based on an asymmetric algorithm’ (DIEM) is presented in this paper. The analysis shows that the DIEM is a cascaded cryptosystem, which consist of a joint transform correlator architecture and a phasetruncated Fourier transform scheme. A GAPRA attack is proposed and the potential risk of the cascaded cryptosystems is discussed. By using our method, an attacker could crack high-quality results of the plaintexts. A set of simulation results demonstrate the validity and feasibility of the proposed method.
