Abstract:

The collapsing of iterates of dynamical systems or at least the existence of very short periodic orbits, their non-constant invariant measure, and the easily recognized shape of the function in the phase space makes well-known chaotic one-dimensional maps (logistic, baker, or tent, etc.) or two-dimensional maps (Hénon, standard or Belykh, etc.) makes them inefficient for pseudo-random numbers generation and application to encryption.

The open problem is how to analyze complex systems to give an exhaustive  answer to their capability to reliably protect information since there are no developed  techniques on non-linear system analysis for these purposes.  Further the talk will present some original observer- based schemes, suitable for encryption, and a pioneering idea of combining topologically conjugated tent and logistic maps: due to the structure of numbers in computer realization, their numerical behavior differs, however we show that an original coupling, inspired from electronic circuits, can lead to a new map with better dynamical behavior suitable for encryption.  Finally, we propose new efficient observer design for synchronization with the chaotic generator,  and organization of original secure chaos-based communication algorithm.
