Discussion on comparative analysis and a new attack on optical asymmetric cryptosystem.
This paper presents two different aspects of cryptanalysis of the optical phase-truncated Fourier transform (PTFT)-based cryptosystem. In the first part, a comparative study is carried out for a specific attack on the PTFT-based scheme in different optical transformation domains. In the second part, a new attack algorithm is proposed. The existing attack algorithms devised for the PTFT-based cryptosystem require knowledge of both the encryption keys for successful retrieval of phase through phase-retrieval algorithms to extract information about the plaintext. The proposed new attack method eliminates the requirement of one of the encryption keys to carry out the attack on the PTFT-based scheme. The numerical results support the proposed method.
