Abstract

We numerically demonstrate that the image encryption algorithm with intensity random filtering in the Hartley domain proposed in a recent Letter by Chen and Zhao [Opt. Lett. 31, 3438 (2006) ] has the problem of low security. Original image information can be visually revealed only by an inverse Hartley transform without any decryption key.
