Is MPEG encryption by using random list instead of zigzag order secure?

This paper discusses the problems of the MPEG video encryption algorithm by using a random permutation list instead of a zigzag order within the MPEG compression process. We show that (1) the encryption method causes a significant size increase of the MPEG video stream, hence defeats the purpose of compression, and (2) the encryption method can not withstand the known-plaintext attack, therefore, should not be considered as secure. We also discuss other solutions to achieve secure, time-efficient, and size-preserving MPEG-video encryption.
