Security-analysis of a nonlinear mask-based cryptosystem in fractional Mellin domain

Phool Singh1, A K Yadav2 and Kehar Singh3

Abstract

This paper presents security-analysis of a fractional Mellin transform based cryptosystem that uses a non-linear mask in the spatial domain. An input image is bonded with a random phase mask and then a spatially separated nonlinear mask is added to it. Thereafter, fractional Mellin transform operation is carried out to get the encrypted image. An inverse fractional Mellin transform is performed on the encrypted image to recover the original image. The scheme is validated for grayscale images of size 256×256 pixels. Security analysis of the scheme is carried out in terms of the statistical attack, contamination attack, occlusion attack, and special known-plaintext attack. It is found that the scheme resists the statistical attacks, contamination attack, and occlusion attack, but is vulnerable to the special known-plaintext attack. © Anita Publications.
