In this paper, we propose and demonstrate experimentally a new wireless digital encryption hyperchaotic communication system based on radio frequency (RF) communication protocols for secure real-time data or image transmission. A reconfigurable hardware architecture is developed to ensure the interconnection between two field programmable gate array development platforms through XBee RF modules. To ensure the synchronization and encryption of data between the transmitter and the receiver, a feedback masking hyperchaotic synchronization technique based on a dynamic feedback modulation has been implemented to digitally synchronize the encrypter hyperchaotic systems. The obtained experimental results show the relevance of the idea of combining XBee (Zigbee or Wireless Fidelity) protocol, known for its high noise immunity, to secure hyperchaotic communications. In fact, we have recovered the information data or image correctly after real-time encrypted data or image transmission tests at a maximum distance (indoor range) of more than 30 m and with maximum digital modulation rate of 625,000 baud allowing a wireless encrypted video transmission rate of 25 images per second with a spatial resolution of 128 × 128 pixels. The obtained performance of the communication system is suitable for secure data or image transmissions in wireless sensor networks.
International audienceIn this paper, we propose a robust and compact design architecture of hardware chaotic key generator for real-time images encryption. The new proposed approach combines the perturbation technique with a non-linear switching between multiple three-dimensional continuous chaotic systems. The originality of this new scheme is that it allows a low-cost image encryption for embedded systems while still providing a good trade-off between performance and hardware resources. This pipelined architecture is particularly attractive since it provides a high security. Numerical simulations and real-time experimental results using Xilinx FPGA Virtex technology have demonstrated the feasibility and the efficiency of our secure solution and can be applied to many secure real-time embedded applications in System on Chip (SoC). Thorough experimental tests are carried out with detailed analysis, demonstrating the high security and fast encryption speed of the new scheme while still able to resist statistical and key analysis attacks
