Recently, an encryption algorithm based on two-dimensional discretized chaotic maps was proposed [Xiang et al., Phys. Lett. A 364 (2007) 252]. In this Letter, we analyze the security weaknesses of the proposal. Using the algebraic dependencies among system parameters. we show that its effective key space can be shrunk. We demonstrate a chosen-ciphertext attack that reveals a portion of the key. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
