When an attacker meets a cipher-image in 2018: A year in review
Open accessOverview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This review surveys representative image encryption schemes and image cryptanalysis works published in 2018, classifying them by essential structure and application scenario. It argues that many chaos-based image ciphers remain vulnerable to chosen-plaintext and related attacks, and that widely used security metrics are inadequate.
Key findings
- The dominant image-encryption structure remains permutation-then-diffusion without substitution-box (PTD-WOS); only a small number of chaotic image encryption schemes use an S-box.
- In 2018, about 30 papers on image cryptanalysis were published; the most striking work is said to depreciate the motivation of most chaos-based encryption schemes and to question metrics such as correlation, entropy, histogram variance, NPCR, UACI, key sensitivity, differential-attack robustness, sequence test, and NIST randomness test.
- Many one-round PTD-WOS schemes are reported vulnerable to chosen-plaintext attack; examples include schemes in [52,37], a plain-image sensitivity mechanism cancelable with probability 1/256 in [117], and recovery of an equivalent secret key using 512 chosen plain-image/cipher-image pairs in [123].
- The paper summarizes challenges including no specific application scenario in most designs, neglect of special image formats, neglect of S-box importance, omitted weak randomness of chaos-based PRNGs, misuse of security test metrics, and designers ignoring previous cryptanalysis lessons.
Methods
- Literature review/survey from the viewpoint of an image cryptanalyst: representative image encryption schemes proposed in 2018 are selected and classified by essential structure, while almost all image cryptanalysis works published in 2018 are surveyed due to their small number.
- Source scope includes a Web of Science Core Collection search for “image” and “cryptograph* or encrypt*” in the Topic field, which found about 1,000 publication records in 2018, plus some top conferences on nonlinear sciences and signal processing such as ISCAS and ICME.
- Analysis is qualitative: encryption schemes are grouped into chaos-based, DNA-encoding, transform-domain, encrypted-domain signal processing, and other application scenarios; cryptanalysis works are grouped into single-round PTD-WOS, complex-structure schemes, and other attacks.
Limitations
- The paper does not state a formal limitations section; it notes that almost all image cryptanalysis works published in 2018 are surveyed because of their small number, but encryption schemes are selected as “most representative” rather than exhaustively.
- Evident from the text: this is a narrative review without a reported systematic search protocol, explicit inclusion/exclusion criteria, or quantitative synthesis.
- Evident from the text: conclusions about security metrics and scheme vulnerabilities rely on cited works; no new experiments or independent benchmarks are presented.

Section 6.6, “Computation Efficiency” (page unavailable), explicitly considers computational resources alongside security performance. It says one encryption round is sufficient for strong performance and concludes that the improved scheme has good computational efficiency, contrary to the claim that computational load was not considered.

Section 3.1 (p. 3) says the plain-image sensitivity mechanism is cancelled because of modulo addition and gives a probability of 1/256. It specifies that this probability applies if every pixel in the plain-images is uniformly distributed; the citing sentence omits that condition. (LLM, conf=0.87)

“Meanwhile, no permutation operation is adopted in the scheme, causing an equivalent secret key can be derived from one pair of a known plain-image and its corresponding cipher-image.”

What the sources say
- Partly supportedcites [117] Li, 2018, Cryptanalyzing an image encryption algorithm based on autoblocking and electrocardiography, IEEE Multimed sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
Section 3.1 (pp. 3–4) says one known plain-image and its corresponding cipher-image can yield a mask image that acts as an equivalent secret key. Its use to decrypt another image is conditional on the same secret key and public parameter and a matching plain-image-derived value. Our copy does not attribute the vulnerability to the absence of a permutation operation; Section 3.1 instead discusses a cancelled sensitivity mechanism. (LLM, conf=0.85)

Section 3.2 (p. 4) describes a chosen-ciphertext method that uses the influence relation between cipher-pixels and plain-pixels to estimate the permutation. But the paper tests and critiques that method: Section 3.2 (pp. 4–5) reports keys for which it gives a wrong result or fails, so the unqualified claim that the permutation relation is recovered overstates the source.

“For example, the sensitivity mechanisms of PRNS on the plain-image built in [80,119,27,92] can be easily canceled by constructing some special plain-images, which has been reported in many cryptanalysis papers such as [1,117].”

Section III and ‘A. Recover the Encryption Key Streams’ show that specially chosen plaintext images, including an all-zero image, let the authors recover key streams in the algorithm they attack. But ‘C. Recover the Target Plain Image’ says those streams are unrelated to the plaintext, so this is not an example of canceling a plain-image-dependent PRNS sensitivity mechanism. Section G says the paper’s improved, plaintext-dependent streams cannot be reused to decrypt a different image. (LLM, conf=0.84)

In “B. Differential Cryptanalysis” (p. 8), the paper says it is very easy to construct plain-images that produce the same keystream in IEAIE, defeating that scheme’s plain-image-dependent mechanism.

Section 3.1 constructs two chosen plaintext images, and Step 4 constructs an array equivalent to the S-box.

The Introduction (p. 2) says finite-precision chaotic maps cannot reach an ideal chaotic state and that degraded dynamics may weaken encryption schemes. This supports concern about chaos-based PRNGs, but the paper does not say that image-encryption schemes widely omit or overlook weak randomness. (LLM, conf=0.82)

“In 2018, improvement (enhancement, remedy) methods were proposed to fix the reported security defects in a number of papers on image cryptanalysis as references [6,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,30,32,119,131].”

The Abstract reports security flaws in an image-encryption algorithm and proposes an improved scheme. Section 4, “The Improved Image Encryption Scheme,” says the authors redesigned the scheme to overcome those flaws. This 2018 paper therefore supports its use as one example among the cited papers; it need not establish the claim for every other reference. (LLM, conf=0.93)

The Conclusions (Section 6) state that the authors identified defects in an image cryptosystem and proposed an improved encryption scheme to address them.

Section 3.2 (pp. 5–7) questions several security-assessment metrics used for IEAE, including the Lyapunov exponent, UACI, histograms, and pixel-correlation coefficients.

“But, the correlation among blocks in cipher-images may still facilitate optimizing the attacking on the block-wise permutation schemes analyzed in [114,115] with the advanced jigsaw puzzle solvers.”

What the sources say
- Supportedcites [114] Imaizumi, 2018, A block-permutation-based encryption scheme with independent processing of RGB components, IEICE Trans Inf Syst source
Section 2.2 says jigsaw puzzle solvers use correlations among pieces and should be considered an attack on block-permutation-based encryption. The Introduction says encrypted images retain some pixel correlation, while Section 4.1.2 reports that a solver correctly assembled regions of conventionally encrypted images. The paper also finds its proposed scheme more resistant; the claim's qualified 'may' is consistent with that distinction. Page numbers are not provided in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.92)
- Supportedcites [115] Li, 2016, Cracking a hierarchical chaotic image encryption algorithm based on permutation, Signal Process source
Section 3.1 (p. 3) says that correlations between neighboring blocks persist in HCIE and may help an attacker infer blocks’ relative locations in a cipher-image by comparing their histograms. It cites a jigsaw-puzzle-solving work for that approach (reference [22], p. 8), supporting the citing sentence’s proposed use of puzzle solvers. (LLM, conf=0.86)

The Conclusion (p. 4) reports strong robustness against jigsaw-puzzle-solver attacks for encrypted images including JPEG distortion. But the Introduction (p. 1) says some solvers can partly assemble encrypted images, and the paper does not establish that encryption has little effect on subsequent compression. The attack-resistance finding is therefore narrower than the citing sentence suggests. (LLM, conf=0.86)

But the cited paper studies their state-mapping networks rather than rigorously deriving the periods of pseudorandom sequences from both maps; its Tent-map analysis (p. 6) concerns the ordinary Tent map, not a skew tent map.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-23, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-23 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
