We introducing multiple Huffman Tables (MHT), which performs both compression and encryption by using multiple statistical models (i.e. Huffman coding tables) in the entropy encoder and multiple Huffman tables are kept secret. A known-plaintext attack is presented to show that the MHTs used for encryption should be carefully selected to avoid the weak keys problem.We then propose chosen-plaintext attacks on the basic MHT algorithm as well as the advanced scheme with random bit insertion. In addition, we suggest two empirical criteria for Huffman table selection, based on which we can simplify the stream cipher integrated scheme, while ensuring a high level of security. %K Cryptanalysis %K Encryption %K Entropy encoding %K Multiple Huffman Tables (MHT) %K Selective Encryption %U http://www.wcsit.org/pub/2011/may/A%20Novel%20Approach%20For%20Security%20Development%20For%20Multimedia%20System.pdf
