Although several references have reported some methods to crack the image encryption algorithm, they are not the most efficient. The proposed chosen-plaintext attack method can break the encryption scheme with (4\u00d7N\/M+1) or (M\/(4\u00d7N)+1) chosen-plaintext images, which is much less than the number of chosen-plaintext images used in the previous cracking algorithms, where M and N represent the height and width of the target ciphertext image, respectively. The effectiveness of the proposed chosen-plaintext attack is supported by theoretical analysis, and verified by experimental results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e23070804","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,24]],"date-time":"2021-06-24T11:01:38Z","timestamp":1624532498000},"page":"804","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["An Efficient Chosen-Plaintext Attack on an Image Fusion Encryption Algorithm Based on DNA Operation and Hyperchaos"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Shuqin","family":"Zhu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, Liaocheng University, Liaocheng 252059, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9662-0532","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Congxu","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Engineering, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"197","DOI":"10.1016\/j.optlaseng.2016.08.009","article-title":"A novel chaos-based image encryption algorithm using DNA sequence operations","volume":"88","author":"Chai","year":"2017","journal-title":"Opt.
