An image encryption algorithm for the double scrambling of the pixel position and bit was cryptanalyzed. In the original image encryption algorithm, the positions of pixels were shuffled totally with the chaotic sequence. Then, the 0 and 1-bit positions of image pixels were scrambled through the use of another chaotic sequence generated by the input key. The authors claimed that the algorithm was able to resist the chosen-plaintext attack. However, through the analysis of the encryption algorithm, it was found that the equivalent key of the whole encryption algorithm was the scrambling sequence T in the global scrambling stage, the pixel bit level scrambling sequence WT and the diffusion sequence S . The generation of scrambling sequence T is related to the sum of all pixel values of the plaintext image, while the generation of WT and S is not associated with the image to be encrypted. By using a chosen-plaintext attack, these equivalent key streams can be cracked so as to realize the decoding of the original chaotic encryption algorithm. Both theoretical analysis and experimental results verify the feasibility of the chosen-plaintext attack strategy. Finally, an improved algorithm was proposed to overcome the defect, which can resist the chosen-plaintext attack and has the encryption effect of a "one time pad".
