Recently an image encryption scheme based on chaotic maps and memory cellular automata has been proposed. In this paper, the security of the scheme is evaluated and it is demonstrated that the scheme can be broken by chosen plain-text attack. Having one or more monochrome plain-images and their corresponding cipherimages, a part of key-stream can be retrieved. Furthermore, it is discovered that...

Pisarchik et al. presented an image encryption algorithm based on chaotically coupled chaotic maps. But G. Arroyo et al. found some flaws and security weaknesses in the proposed cryptosystem. In this letter, the speed of this chaotic cryptosystem is analyzed and the encryption speed claimed by the authors is argued. The maximum possible speed for the proposed algorithm is calculated analyticall...

Pseudo-Random Bit Generation (PRBG) is required in many aspects of cryptography as well as in other applications of modern security engineering. In this work, PRBG based on 2D symmetrical chaotic mappings of logistic type is considered. The sequences generated with a chaotic PRBG of this type, are statistically tested and the computational effectiveness of the generators is estimated. Consideri...

Synchronization of identical chaotic systems subjected to common noise has been the subject of recent research. Studies on several chaotic systems have shown that, the synchronization is actually induced by the non-zero mean of the noise, and symmetric noise with zero-mean cannot lead to synchronization. Here it is presented that synchronization can be achieved by zero-mean noise in some chaoti...

Designing chaotic maps with complex dynamics is a challenging topic. This paper introduces the nonlinear chaotic processing (NCP) model, which contains six basic nonlinear operations. Each operation is a general framework that can use existing chaotic maps as seed maps to generate a huge number of new chaotic maps. The proposed NCP model can be easily extended by introducing new nonlinear opera...

The problem discussed in this paper is the effect of latency time on the OGY chaos control methodology in multi chaotic systems. The Smith predictor, rhythmic and memory strategies are embedded in the OGY chaos control method to encounter loop latency. A comparison study is provided and the advantages of the Smith predictor approach are clearly evident from the closed loop responses. The comple...

Two fractional chaotic maps, Lu and Chen have been analyzed using an innovative predictor-corrector method based on a non-uniform grid. An original law to control the grid size at each iteration has introduced. The choice of was shown play fundamental role obtain behavior for larger parameter range, while decreasing computational time. obtained results show that complexity resulting system in t...

This paper concerns the propagation of particles through a quenched random medium. In the oneand two-dimensional models considered, the local dynamics is given by expanding circle maps and hyperbolic toral automorphisms, respectively. The particle motion in both models is chaotic and found to fluctuate about a linear drift. In the proper scaling limit, the cumulative distribution function of th...

While synchronization of coupled chaotic systems has been the subject of intensive research, many issues in this field remain open. Among the most important of these is robustness to channel noise: Can synchronization be guaranteed even if the coupling channel is noisy? This issue is of great significance if coupled chaotic systems are to find use in communications, as has been suggested by som...
