Synchronization of spatiotemporal semiconductor lasers and its application in color image encryption
Optical chaos is a topic of current research characterized by
high-dimensional nonlinearity which is attributed to the delay-induced
dynamics, high bandwidth and easy modular implementation of optical feedback.
In light of these facts, which adds enough confusion and diffusion properties
for secure communications, we explore the synchronization phenomena in
spatiotemporal semiconductor laser systems. The novel system is used in a
two-phase colored image encryption process. The high-dimensional chaotic
attractor generated by the system produces a completely randomized chaotic time
series, which is ideal in the secure encoding of messages. The scheme thus
illustrated is a two-phase encryption method, which provides sufficiently high
confusion and diffusion properties of chaotic cryptosystem employed with unique
data sets of processed chaotic sequences. In this novel method of cryptography,
the chaotic phase masks are represented as images using the chaotic sequences
as the elements of the image. The scheme drastically permutes the positions of
the picture elements. The next additional layer of security further alters the
statistical information of the original image to a great extent along the
three-color planes. The intermediate results during encryption demonstrate the
infeasibility for an unauthorized user to decipher the cipher image. Exhaustive
statistical tests conducted validate that the scheme is robust against noise
and resistant to common attacks due to the double shield of encryption and the
infinite dimensionality of the relevant system of partial differential
equations.Comment: 20 pages, 11 figures; Article in press, Optics Communications (2011
Error Function Attack of chaos synchronization based encryption schemes
Different chaos synchronization based encryption schemes are reviewed and
compared from the practical point of view. As an efficient cryptanalysis tool
for chaos encryption, a proposal based on the Error Function Attack is
presented systematically and used to evaluate system security. We define a
quantitative measure (Quality Factor) of the effective applicability of a chaos
encryption scheme, which takes into account the security, the encryption speed,
and the robustness against channel noise. A comparison is made of several
encryption schemes and it is found that a scheme based on one-way coupled
chaotic map lattices performs outstandingly well, as judged from Quality
Factor
Spatiotemporal chaos in Arnold coupled logistic map lattice
In this paper, we propose a new spatiotemporal dynamics of Arnold coupled logistic map lattice (ACLML). Here, the coupling method between lattices is not a neighborhood coupling but the non-neighborhood of Arnold cat maps. In the proposed system, the criteria such as Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy density and universality, bifurcation diagram, mutual information, space amplitude and space-time diagrams are investigated in this paper. The new features of the proposed system include the lower mutual information between lattices, larger range of parameters for chaotic behaviors, the higher percentage of lattices in chaotic behaviors for most of parameters and less periodic window in bifurcation diagram. These features are more suitable for cryptography. For numerical simulations, we have employed the coupled map lattices system (CML) for comparison. The results indicate that the proposed system has those superior features to the coupled map lattice system (CML). It should be highlighted that the proposed ACLML is a suitable chaotic system for cryptography
