This paper studies the security of a recently proposed chaos-based cryptosystem. It is shown that the encryption architecture of this cryptosystem possesses some important problems related to its implementation and its robustness against noise. Some security problems are also highlighted.

In this short note we discuss totally transitive maps. We show that all chaotic maps are not necessarily totally transitive, but there are chaotic maps with this property. Our discussion relates to symbol space Σ2 and real line.

a watermarking scheme for grayscale image isproposed based on a family of the chaotic maps and discretecosine transform. jacobian elliptic mapis employed to encrypt ofwatermarked logo. piecewise nonlinear chaotic map is also usedto determine the location of dct coefficients for the watermarkembedding. the purpose of this algorithm is to improve theshortcoming of watermarking such as small key s...

Chaos is embedded to the he Charged System Search (CSS) to solve practical optimization problems. To improve the ability of global search, different chaotic maps are introduced and three chaotic-CSS methods are developed. A comparison of these variants and the standard CSS demonstrates the superiority and suitability of the selected variants for practical civil optimization problems.

Weak periodic perturbation has long been used to suppress chaos in dynamical systems. In this paper, however, we demonstrate that weak periodic or quasiperiodic perturbation can also be used to induce chaos in nonchaotic parameter ranges of chaotic maps, or to enhance the already existing chaotic state. Two kinds of chaotic maps, the period doubling system and the Hopf bifurcation system, are e...

In recent years, many multimedia and image encryption techniques based on chaotic maps have been proposed. In this paper, we propose a novel multimedia data encryption technique called MDEA (Multimedia Data Encryption Algorithm). Proposed encryption scheme is based on two digital chaotic maps, which in turn are used to generate two different chaotic sequences. Detail description of the proposed...
