This paper presents a new fractional-order hidden strange attractor generated by a chaotic system without equilibria. The proposed non-equilibrium fractional-order chaotic system (FOCS) is asymmetric, dissimilar, topologically inequivalent to typical chaotic systems and challenges the conventional notion that the presence of unstable equilibria is mandatory to ensure the existence of chaos. The new fractional-order model displays rich bifurcation undergoing a period doubling route to chaos, where the fractional order α is the bifurcation parameter. Study of the hidden attractor dynamics is carried out with the aid of phase portraits, sensitivity to initial conditions, fractal Lyapunov dimension, maximum Lyapunov exponents spectrum and bifurcation analysis. The minimum commensurate dimension to display chaos is determined. With a view to utilizing it in chaos based cryptology and coding information, a synchronisation control scheme is designed. Finally the theoretical analyses are validated by numerical simulation results which are in good agreement with the former.
In this paper a random number generation method based on a piecewise linear one dimensional (PL1D) discrete time chaotic maps is proposed for applications in cryptography and steganography. Appropriate parameters are determined by examining the distribution of underlying chaotic signal and random number generator (RNG) is numerically verified by four fundamental statistical test of FIPS 140-2. Proposed design is practically realized on the field programmable analog and digital arrays (FPAA-FPGA). Finally it is experimentally verified that the presented RNG fulfills the NIST 800-22 randomness test without post processing.
The chaotic system and cryptography have some common features. Due to the close relationship between chaotic system and cryptosystem, researchers try to combine the chaotic system with cryptosystem. In this study, security analysis of an encryption algorithm which aims to encrypt the data with ECG signals and chaotic functions was performed using the Logistic map in text encryption and Henon map in image encryption. In the proposed algorithm, text and image data can be encrypted at the same time. In addition, ECG signals are used to determine the initial conditions and control parameters of the chaotic functions used in the algorithm to personalize of the encryption algorithm. In this cryptanalysis study, the inadequacy of the mentioned process and the weaknesses of the proposed method have been determined. Encryption algorithm has not sufficient capacity to provide necessary security level of key space and secret key can be obtained with only one plaintext/ciphertext pair with chosen-plaintext attack.
To enhance the encryption and anti-translation capability of the information, we constructed a five-dimensional chaotic system. Combined with the Lü system, a time-switched system with multiple chaotic attractors is realized in the form of a digital circuit. Some characteristics of the five-dimensional system are analyzed, such as Poincare mapping, the Lyapunov exponent spectrum, and bifurcation diagram. The analysis shows that the system exhibits chaotic characteristics for a wide range of parameter values. We constructed a time-switched expression between multiple chaotic attractors using the communication between a microcontroller unit (MCU) and field programmable gate array (FPGA). The system can quickly switch between different chaotic attractors within the chaotic system and between chaotic systems at any time, leading to signal sources with more variability, diversity, and complexity for chaotic encryption.
