In recent years, a growing number of cryptosystems based on chaos have been proposed. The majority of them are based on parameter modulation of a chaotic oscillator being the transmitter while the receiver is also a chaotic system synchronized by means of an adaptive observer. For example, a Lorenz’s attractor is used as the non-linear time-varying system while the encryption process modulates ...

This paper describes the security weakness of a recently proposed secure communication method based on parameter modulation of a chaotic system and adaptive observer-based synchronization scheme. We show that the security is compromised even without precise knowledge of the chaotic system used.

In this paper, we propose and demonstrate experimentally a new wireless digital encryption hyperchaotic communication system based on radio frequency (RF) communication protocols for secure real-time data or image transmission. A reconfigurable hardware architecture is developed to ensure the interconnection between two field programmable gate array development platforms through XBee RF modules...

We describe a communication scheme based on chaotic Rössler oscillators for transmission of secure messages via computers. The computers are synchronized through one of the channels via one of the variables of the Rössler system, while an information signal is transmitted through another channel by adding the message to another system variable. This scheme provides more stable communication bec...

One of the major hurdles in implementing chaotic communication schemes is the synchronization of chaotic systems. For the last two decades, numerous contributions of varying successes have been made by researchers from different disciplines for the synchronization of chaotic systems. Symbolic dynamics based synchronization method is shown to be capable of providing high quality synchronization ...

The chaotic systems have been found applications in diverse fields such as pseudo random number generator, coding, cryptography, spread spectrum (SS) communications etc. The inherent capability of generating a large space of PN sequences due to sensitive dependence on initial conditions has been the main reason for exploiting chaos in spread spectrum communication systems. This behaviour sugges...

This paper deals with the synchronization of spatiotemporal chaotic systems and presents a new robust secondary chaotic secure communication system for digital signal transmissions which can recover digital signal even though the transmitted signal is influenced by limited noise. The transmitter terminal and the receiver terminal both contain a spatiotemporal chaotic system and a hyperchaotic s...
