On secure communication scheme-based mixed discrete-time hyperchaotic systems

Abstract

The proposed secure communication system is based on mixed discrete-time chaotic systems in this study. To increase signal transmission security over the public channel, this system is composed of two chaotic systems on the transmitter and receiver sides. Borne and Gentina criterion associated with the Benrejeb arrow form matrix is used for stability study and system description to ensure the synchronization between these chaotic systems. The case of electrocardiogram encryption and decryption is considered an application to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed chaotic encryption approach. The performance analyses of the proposed secure communication under the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel, brute force attack and some statistical attacks have shown that the proposed encryption scheme exhibited a high level of security, could maintain the confidentiality and integrity of the transmitted information and the original signal can be accurately recovered even in the presence of noise.A comparitive study between different methods is given to show the advantages and the drawbacks of the proposed communication system.
