Algebraic break of a cryptosystem based on discretized two-dimensional chaotic maps

Recently, a cryptosystem based on two-dimensional discretized chaotic maps was proposed [T. Xiang, et al., Phys. Lett. A 364 (2007) 252]. In this Letter, we cryptanalyze the proposal using algebraic methods. We give three different attacks that yield all the secret parameters of the cryptosystem. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
