Cryptanalysis of Novel Image Encryption Scheme Based on Multiple Chaotic Substitution Boxes by Ammar S. Alanazi, Noor Munir, Majid Khan, Muhammad Asif, Iqtadar Hussain

“…This article presents a detailed structure of two types of cryptographic attacks on the diffusion-based encryption scheme. The proposed attacks are successfully performed to retrieve the key with very little execution time by using just one chosen image which indicates the vulnerability of multiple chaotic S-boxes-based cryptosystems. …”

Risk Assessment of Drought Based on IEAPP-IDM in Qujing, Yunnan Province, China by Menghua Deng, Junfei Chen, Guiyun Liu, Huimin Wang

“…A new model for risk assessment of drought based on projection pursuit optimized by immune evolutionary algorithm and information diffusion method (IEAPP-IDM) was proposed. Due to the fact that drought risk assessment is a complex multicriteria and multilevel problem, the IEAPP-IDM model can project the multidimensional indicators of samples into one-dimension projection scores; then, the information carried by the projection scores was diffused into drought risk levels; finally, the drought disaster risk estimate was obtained. …”
