This article proposes a fast reaching finite time synchronization approach for chaotic systems along with its application to medical image encryption. First, an adaptive terminal sliding mode tracking approach with fast reaching condition is designed to synchronize the chaotic systems at the transmitter and receiver ends in finite time. Then, a chaotic cryptosystem, using synchronized chaotic systems as secret keys generator, is proposed to enhance the security of medical image transmission and/or storage. The applicability and efficiency of the proposed synchronization approach is assessed using a simulation as well as an analytical study. The analysis encompassed security tools such as histogram analysis, correlation test, and information entropy change the rate of the number of pixels and unified average changing intensity. The obtained results confirmed the robustness and fast convergence rate of the proposed synchronization approach. The security analysis also shows that the proposed cryptosystem displays acceptable levels of resistance to various attacks.

This study proposes an adaptive nonsingular integral dynamic terminal sliding mode tracker/synchronizer for disturbed nonlinear systems along with its usage in safe communication systems. The convergence of the closed-loop structure under unknown uncertainty and disturbances is guaranteed via Lyapunov analysis. Furthermore, a parameter-tuning method is planned to approximate the upper bound of uncertainty and disturbance terms, since this latter is typically unknown in practice. The proposed approach is used to design a digital secure transmission scheme according to the chaotic systems. The effectiveness of the suggested approach is validated using computer simulations on a benchmark example of chaotic system. The obtained outcomes clearly confirm the ability of the planned control approach enables to attain the desired tracking/synchronizing performance despite the disturbances. Additionally, when implemented to the data encryption of a communication system, the proposed control and secure communication techniques enabled the complete and secure retrieval of the original digital sequences.
