Introduction
Cryptanalysis is an integral part of any serious effort in designing secure encryption algorithms. Indeed, a cryptosystem is only as secure as the most powerful known attack that failed to break it. The situation is not different for chaos-based ciphers. Before attempting to design a new chaotic cipher, it is essential that the designers have a thorough grasp of the existing attacks and cryptanalysis tools.
