Symmetry in Chaotic Systems and Circuits

Symmetry can play an important role in the field of nonlinear systems and especially in the design of nonlinear circuits that produce chaos. Therefore, this Special Issue, titled “Symmetry in Chaotic Systems and Circuits”, presents the latest scientific advances in nonlinear chaotic systems and circuits that introduce various kinds of symmetries. Applications of chaotic systems and circuits with symmetries, or with a deliberate lack of symmetry, are also presented in this Special Issue.

This is the accepted manuscript version of a conference paper which has been published in final form at https://doi.org/10.1109/TII.2023.3341256The high cost, low yield, and low stability of nano-materials significantly hinder the application and development of memristors. To promote the application of memristors, researchers proposed a variety of memristor emulators to simulate memristor functions and apply them in various fields. However these emulators lack nonvolatile characteristics, limiting their scope of application. This paper proposes an innovative nonvolatile memristor circuit based on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology, expanding the horizons of memristor emulators. The proposed memristor is fabricated in a reconfigurable array architecture using the standard CMOS process, allowing the connection between memristors to be altered by configuring the on-off state of switches. Compared to nano-material memristors, the CMOS nonvolatile memristor circuit proposed in this paper offers advantages of low manufacturing cost and easy mass production, which can promote the application of memristors. The application of the reconfigurable array is further studied by constructing an Echo State Network (ESN) for short-term load forecasting in the power system.Peer reviewe

Design of Discrete-time Chaos-Based Systems for Hardware Security Applications

Security of systems has become a major concern with the advent of technology. Researchers are proposing new security solutions every day in order to meet the area, power and performance specifications of the systems. The additional circuit required for security purposes can consume significant area and power. This work proposes a solution which utilizes discrete-time chaos-based logic gates to build a system which addresses multiple hardware security issues. The nonlinear dynamics of chaotic maps is leveraged to build a system that mitigates IC counterfeiting, IP piracy, overbuilding, disables hardware Trojan insertion and enables authentication of connecting devices (such as IoT and mobile). Chaos-based systems are also used to generate pseudo-random numbers for cryptographic applications.The chaotic map is the building block for the design of discrete-time chaos-based oscillator. The analog output of the oscillator is converted to digital value using a comparator in order to build logic gates. The logic gate is reconfigurable since different parameters in the circuit topology can be altered to implement multiple Boolean functions using the same system. The tuning parameters are control input, bifurcation parameter, iteration number and threshold voltage of the comparator. The proposed system is a hybrid between standard CMOS logic gates and reconfigurable chaos-based logic gates where original gates are replaced by chaos-based gates. The system works in two modes: logic locking and authentication. In logic locking mode, the goal is to ensure that the system achieves logic obfuscation in order to mitigate IC counterfeiting. The secret key for logic locking is made up of the tuning parameters of the chaotic oscillator. Each gate has 10-bit key which ensures that the key space is large which exponentially increases the computational complexity of any attack. In authentication mode, the aim of the system is to provide authentication of devices so that adversaries cannot connect to devices to learn confidential information. Chaos-based computing system is susceptible to process variation which can be leveraged to build a chaos-based PUF. The proposed system demonstrates near ideal PUF characteristics which means systems with large number of primary outputs can be used for authenticating devices

Fully Integrated Memristor and Its Application on the Scroll-Controllable Hyperchaotic System

In this paper, a fully integrated memristor emulator using operational amplifiers (OAs) and analog multipliers is simulated. Based on the fully integrated memristor, a scroll-controllable hyperchaotic system is presented. By controlling the nonlinear function with programmable switches, the memristor-based hyperchaotic system achieves controllable scroll numbers. Moreover, the memristor-based hyperchaotic system is fully integrated in one single chip, and it achieves lower supply voltage, lower power dissipation, and smaller chip area. The fully integrated memristor and memristor-based hyperchaotic system are verified with the GlobalFoundries’ 0.18 μm CMOS process using Cadence IC Design Tools. The postlayout simulation results demonstrate that the memristor-based fully integrated hyperchaotic system consumes 90.5 mW from ±2.5 V supply voltage and it takes a compact chip area of 1.8 mm2
