FUZZY MODEL-BASED APPROACH TO CHAOTIC ENCRYPTION USING SYNCHRONIZATION

This paper proposes a fuzzy model-based chaotic encryption approach using synchronization. The cryptosystem uses T–S fuzzy models to exactly represent discrete-time chaotic systems into separate linear systems. Then the synchronization problem is solved using linear matrix inequalities. The advantages of this approach are: the general and systematic T–S fuzzy model design methodology suitable for well-known Luré type discrete-time chaotic systems; flexibility in selection of chaotic signals for cryptosystem secure key generator; and multiuser capabilities. Especially taking a chaotic superincreasing sequence as an encryption key enhances the chaotic communication structure to a higher-level of security compared to traditional masking methods. In addition, numerical simulations and DSP-based experiments are carried out to verify the validity of theoretical results.
