Abstract: Recently a hybrid secure image encryption scheme based on Julia set and three-dimensional Lorenz chaotic system was suggested. The offered scheme was based on the multiplicative operation carried out by Julia set fractals and bitwise XOR which was implemented by the trajectories obtained from the Lorenz chaotic system. This paper presents the cryptanalysis of the scheme through a chosen-plaintext attack by taking three different chosen images. In this work, a practical chosen-plaintext attack is performed which reveals that the cryptosystem depending on only multiplication and bitwise XOR operation can be effortlessly attacked. The results of the analysis performed on the retrieved image reflect the effectiveness of the chosen-plaintext attack which fruitfully produces the original image.
