A Novel Chaotic Encryption Technique for Secure Communication

In this work, a novel chaotic encryption technique is proposed to realize a secure communication system. In the proposed method, the message signal to be transmitted is first encrypted using a chaotic keystream and then masked with a chaotic signal. At the receiver end, the received chaotic signal is used for synchronization and to recover the encrypted signal. After applying the same keystream used in transmitter side, the message signal could be decrypted back. The main contribution of this work is generation of the keystream which is not part of the transmitter chaotic oscillator but is produced using an oscillator of different structure.
