Some hints for the design of digital chaos-based cryptosystems: lessons learned from cryptanalysis
In this work we comment some conclusions derived from the analysis of recent
proposals on the field of chaos-based cryptography. These observations remark
the main problems detected in some of those schemes under examination.
Therefore, this paper is a list of what to avoid when considering chaos as
source of new strategies to conceal and protect information
A Pseudo DNA Cryptography Method
The DNA cryptography is a new and very promising direction in cryptography
research. DNA can be used in cryptography for storing and transmitting the
information, as well as for computation. Although in its primitive stage, DNA
cryptography is shown to be very effective. Currently, several DNA computing
algorithms are proposed for quite some cryptography, cryptanalysis and
steganography problems, and they are very powerful in these areas. However, the
use of the DNA as a means of cryptography has high tech lab requirements and
computational limitations, as well as the labor intensive extrapolation means
so far. These make the efficient use of DNA cryptography difficult in the
security world now. Therefore, more theoretical analysis should be performed
before its real applications.
In this project, We do not intended to utilize real DNA to perform the
cryptography process; rather, We will introduce a new cryptography method based
on central dogma of molecular biology. Since this method simulates some
critical processes in central dogma, it is a pseudo DNA cryptography method.
The theoretical analysis and experiments show this method to be efficient in
computation, storage and transmission; and it is very powerful against certain
attacks. Thus, this method can be of many uses in cryptography, such as an
enhancement insecurity and speed to the other cryptography methods. There are
also extensions and variations to this method, which have enhanced security,
effectiveness and applicability.Comment: A small work that quite some people asked abou
Theoretical Design and FPGA-Based Implementation of Higher-Dimensional Digital Chaotic Systems
Traditionally, chaotic systems are built on the domain of infinite precision
in mathematics. However, the quantization is inevitable for any digital
devices, which causes dynamical degradation. To cope with this problem, many
methods were proposed, such as perturbing chaotic states and cascading multiple
chaotic systems. This paper aims at developing a novel methodology to design
the higher-dimensional digital chaotic systems (HDDCS) in the domain of finite
precision. The proposed system is based on the chaos generation strategy
controlled by random sequences. It is proven to satisfy the Devaney's
definition of chaos. Also, we calculate the Lyapunov exponents for HDDCS. The
application of HDDCS in image encryption is demonstrated via FPGA platform. As
each operation of HDDCS is executed in the same fixed precision, no
quantization loss occurs. Therefore, it provides a perfect solution to the
dynamical degradation of digital chaos.Comment: 12 page
