This study introduces an encryption algorithm for colour RGB images and text, the encryption is based on the synchronisation of fractional chaotic systems, the synchronisation has the topology of master–slave, where the transmitter is the master system and the receiver is the slave system, this last one is designed as a new smoothed sliding modes state observer for fractional chaotic systems. The encryption algorithm provides security against common cryptographic techniques, including known and chosen plaintext attacks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
