Cryptanalysis of Elementary Cellular Automata Based Image Encryption

An image encryption based on elementary cellular automata was proposed in [Yu Xiao yang etal., International Journal of Security and Its Applications Vol.7, No.5 (2013), pp.397-406.]. In this paper, we analyze the security weaknesses of their algorithm. Based on the given analysis, it is demonstrated that the scheme under study can be broken by various attacks (Chosen Plaintext and Chosen ciphertext attacks).
