Abstract

We analyze and present an attack scheme of the asymmetric optical cryptosystem proposed recently based on coherent superposition and equal modulus decomposition [Opt. Lett. 40, 475 (2015) [CrossRef]  ]. We prove that the attacker can recover the original image with the ciphertext and public keys through the amplitude-phase retrieval algorithm by using two constraints. One constraint of the amplitude-phase retrieval algorithm is the public key and the other is obtained through the analysis of the cryptosystem. The simulation results demonstrate the feasibility of the attack method.
