Reducing the Dynamical Degradation of Digital Chaotic Maps with Time-Delay Linear Feedback and Parameter Perturbation

Abstract

Digital chaotic maps are not secure enough for cryptographic applications due to their dynamical degradation. In order to improve their dynamics, in this paper, a novel method with time-delay linear feedback and parameter perturbation is proposed. The delayed state variable is used to construct the linear feedback function and parameter perturbation function. This method is universal for all different digital chaotic maps. Here, two examples are presented: one is 1D logistic map and the other is 2D Baker map. To show the effectiveness of this method, we take some numerical experiments, including trajectory and phase space analysis, correlation analysis, period analysis, and complexity analysis. All the numerical results prove that the method can greatly improve the dynamics of digital chaotic maps and is quite competitive with other proposed methods. Furthermore, a simple pseudorandom bit generator (PRBG) based on digital Baker map is proposed to show its potential application. The proposed PRBG is completely constructed by the digital chaotic map, without any other complex operations. Several numerical results indicate that this PRBG has good randomness and high complexity level.

“…It is worth noting here that as far as the numerical evaluation of the chaotic system in the transmitter and receiver ends is concerned, there are instances where errors can arise, that may lead to degradation of the design. Examples can include round-off errors that arise when a different error tolerance is chosen between transmitter and receiver, or errors that arise when a different integration step is chosen or different numerical methods are used to solve the system; see for example, discussions in the recent works [52][53][54]. This is one of the main obstacles that have so far held up the possible commercialization of chaos-based secure communications.…”

“…The sequence obtained by the digital chaotic system becomes periodic due to finite precision device. This challenge leads the dynamical degradation of digital chaotic system [28]. In this study, a delay-introducing method-based logistic chaotic map presented in [29] has been utilized to counteract the effect of the dynamical degradation in the digitalization of the chaotic system.…”

“…Thus far, many solutions to enlarge chaotic properties have been proposed and their practicability has gradually been verified [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Tang, J. et al [5] introduces delay-coupled state perturbation control parameters and state variables to enhance the dynamics of chaotic systems.…”

“…Liu, L. et al [6] presented a new double-perturbed mode to ameliorate the dynamics of baker map, including perturbation of state variables and system parameters. Liu, B. et al [7] used state variables to interfere with the control parameters of another map to couple two chaotic maps. Hoang, T. M. [8] proposed a regressive chaotic mapping model (PCM-VNI) with a different number of iterations, where perturbations are applied to the state variables and control parameters at the bit level.…”
