Cryptanalysis of Bigdeli Algorithm using Çokal and Solak Attack

Since 1990s, chaos has been widely investigated to construct multimedia encryption scheme for its characteristics, such as the ergodicity, mixing and the sensitivity to initial conditions. This study is concerned with the cryptanalyses of recently proposed chaos based image encryption schemes [N. Bigdeli, Y. Farid, K. Afshar, A robust hybrid method for image encryption based on Hopfield neural network, Computers and Electrical Engineering 38 (2012) 356–369]. The security of the schemes against Çokal and Solak attack is investigated in detail with theoretical analyses and experimental results. We show that all the secret parameters can be revealed.
