Chaotic attractors based on unstable dissipative systems via third-order differential equation

"In this paper, we present an approach how to yield 1D, 2D and 3D-grid multi-scroll chaotic systems in R3 based on unstable dissipative systems via third-order differential equation. This class of systems is constructed by a switching control law(SCL) changing the equilibrium point of an unstable dissipative system. The switching control law that governs the position of the equilibrium point varies according to the number of scrolls displayed in the attractor.

Grid multi-wing butterfly chaotic attractors generated from a new 3-D quadratic autonomous system

Due to the dynamic characteristics of the Lorenz system, multi-wing chaotic systems are still confined in the positive half-space and fail to break the threshold limit. In this paper, a new approach for generating complex grid multi-wing attractors that can break the threshold limit via a novel nonlinear modulating function is proposed from the firstly proposed double-wing chaotic system. The proposed method is different from that of classical multi-scroll chaotic attractors generated by odd-symmetric multi-segment linear functions from Chua system. The new system is autonomous and can generate various grid multi-wing butterfly chaotic attractors without requiring any external forcing, it also can produce grid multi-wing both on the xz-plane and yz-plane. Basic properties of the new system such as dissipation property, equilibrium, stability, the Lyapunov exponent spectrum and bifurcation diagram are introduced by numerical simulation, theoretical analysis and circuit experiment, which confirm that the multi-wing attractors chaotic system has more rich and complicated chaotic dynamics. Finally, a novel module-based unified circuit is designed which provides some principles and guidelines for future circuitry design and engineering application. The circuit experimental results are consistent with the numerical simulation results.&nbsp

A universal variable extension method for designing multi-scroll/wing chaotic systems

© 2023 IEEE. This is the accepted manuscript version of an article which has been published in final form at https://doi.org/10.1109/TIE.2023.3299020Developing a universal design method to construct different multiscroll/wing chaotic systems (MS/WCSs) has been challenging. This article proposes a general design method for MS $/$ WCSs called the universal variable extension method (UVEM). It is a simple but effective approach that generates one-direction (1-D) and 2-D multiscroll/wing chaotic attractors. Using any double-scroll/wing chaotic system as the basic system, the UVEM is able to construct different MS/WCSs. Employing Chua's chaotic system and Lorenz chaotic system as two examples, we construct two MSCSs (including 1-D and 2-D) and two MWCSs (including 1-D and 2-D), respectively. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation show that the constructed MS/WCSs not only can generate 1-D and 2-D multiscroll/wing chaotic attractors but also have 1-D and 2-D initial boosting behaviors. This means that the MS/WCSs designed by the UVEM are very sensitive to their initial states, and have better unpredictability and more complex chaotic behaviors. To show the simplicity of UVEM in hardware implementation, we develop a field-programmable gate array-based digital hardware platform to implement the designed MS $/$ WCSs. Finally, a new pseudorandom number generator is proposed to investigate the application of the MS/WCSs. All P-values obtained by the NIST SP800-22 test are larger than 0.01, which indicates that the MS/WCSs designed by UVEM have high randomness.Peer reviewe

Kneadings, Symbolic Dynamics and Painting Lorenz Chaos. A Tutorial

A new computational technique based on the symbolic description utilizing kneading invariants is proposed and verified for explorations of dynamical and parametric chaos in a few exemplary systems with the Lorenz attractor. The technique allows for uncovering the stunning complexity and universality of bi-parametric structures and detect their organizing centers - codimension-two T-points and separating saddles in the kneading-based scans of the iconic Lorenz equation from hydrodynamics, a normal model from mathematics, and a laser model from nonlinear optics.Comment: Journal of Bifurcations and Chaos, 201

State of the Art in Biometric Key Binding and Key Generation Schemes

Direct storage of biometric templates in databases exposes the authentication system and legitimate users to numerous security and privacy challenges. Biometric cryptosystems or template protection schemes are used to overcome the security and privacy challenges associated with the use of biometrics as a means of authentication. This paper presents a review of previous works in biometric key binding and key generation schemes. The review focuses on key binding techniques such as biometric encryption, fuzzy commitment scheme, fuzzy vault and shielding function. Two categories of key generation schemes considered are private template and quantization schemes. The paper also discusses the modes of operations, strengths and weaknesses of various kinds of key-based template protection schemes. The goal is to provide the reader with a clear understanding of the current and emerging trends in key-based biometric cryptosystems
