Narrow Results

Detecting chaos in heavy-noise environments is an important issue in many fields of science and engineering. In this paper, first, a new criterion is proposed to recognize chaos from noise based on the distribution of energy. Then, a new method based on stationary wavelet transform (SWT) is presented for chaos detection that is recommended for data that contain more than 60% noise. This method is dependent on the distribution of signal’s energy in different frequency bands based on SWT for chaos detection which is robust to noisy environments. In this method, the effect of white noise and colored noise on the chaotic system is considered. As a case study, the proposed method is applied to detect chaos in two different oscillators based on memristor and memcapacitor. The simulation results are used to display the main points of the paper.

This work proposes a $d$-dimensional quantum multi-secret sharing scheme with a cheat-detection mechanism. The dealer creates multiple secrets and distributes the shares of these secrets using multi-access structures and a monotone span program. The dealer detects the cheating of each participant using the black box’s cheat-detection mechanism. To detect the participants’ deceit, the dealer distributes secret shares’ shadows derived from a randomly invertible matrix $X$ to the participants, stored in the black box. The black box identifies the participant’s deceitful behavior during the secret recovery phase. Only honest participants authenticated by the black box acquire their secret shares to recover the multiple secrets. After the black box cheating verification, the participants reconstruct the secrets by utilizing the unitary operations and quantum Fourier transform. The proposed protocol is reliable in preventing attacks from eavesdroppers and participants. The scheme’s efficiency is demonstrated in different noise environments: dit-flip noise, $d$-phase-flip noise and amplitude-damping noise, indicating its robustness in practical scenarios. The proposed protocol provides greater versatility, security and practicality.
