Abstract
This work aims to study the vulnerability of the phase-truncated Fourier transform (PTFT) based cryptosystem towards single key attack analysis. The existing attack algorithms aimed at retrieving the input information from the PTFT cryptosystems require the knowledge of both the encryption keys. In this work, we aim to retrieve the plaintext through phase retrieval algorithm that uses only one of the keys as its constraints. The proposed method is supported by simulation results.
