Abstract :
In this paper, we claim that asymmetric cryptosystem using spherical wave illumination is vulnerable against specific attack. The combination of spherical wave parameters can easily be obtained in order to decrypt the image through specific attack. We also suggested an improvement so that asymmetric cryptosystem based on spherical wave illumination resists such attacks.
