A New Images Hiding Scheme Based on Chaotic Sequences

We propose a data hidding technique in a still image. This technique is based on chaotic sequence in the transform domain of cover image. We use different chaotic random sequences multiplied by multiple sensitive images, respectively, to spread the spectrum of sensitive images. Multiple sensitive images are hidden in a covert image as a form of noise. The results of theoretical analysis and computer simulation show the new hiding technique have better properties with high security, imperceptibility and capacity for hidden information in comparison with the conventional scheme such as LSB (Least Significance Bit).

AN ALGORITHM OF LOCAL PREDICTION FOR CHAOTIC SEQUENCES WITH VARIABLE FRAME LENGTH

According to the issues that the predict errors of chaotic sequences rapidly accumulated in multi-step forecasting which affects the predict accuracy, we proposed a new predict algorithm based on local modeling with variable frame length and interpolation points. The core idea is that, using interpolation method to increase the available sample data, then modeling the chaos dynamics system with least square algorithm which based on the Bernstein polynomial to realize the forecasting. We use the local modeling method, looking for the optimum frame length and interpolation points in every frame to improve the predict peformance. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the predictive ability effectively, decreasing the accumulation of iterative errors in multi-step prediction.

Analysis of quaternary digital chaotic sequence performance based on chaotic matrix

With good randomness and high sensitivity to initial values,chaotic sequences have been extensively used in secure communication.Real chaotic sequences are highly sensitive to initial values.It is an analog quantity in the domain of attraction,which is not conducive to the transmission of digital signals.In order to improve the stability,real chaotic sequences can be quantized into digital chaotic sequences.According to the relationship between the information rate and the symbol rate,the symbol rate of binary sequence is the same as the information rate.The information rate can be doubled by quantizing a real-valued sequence into a quaternary sequence.The chaotic sequence has weak periodicity.Moreover,the periodicity of binary digital chaotic sequences is much weaker than that of quaternary chaotic sequences.Compared with the multi-dimensional chaotic map,the one-dimensional chaotic map has small key space and low security.In this paper,a new real-valued chaotic sequence is generated based on the chaotic matrix method constructed by Logistic map and Kent map.Two quantization methods are used to digitize the real-valued chaotic sequence to obtain the quaternary digital chaotic sequence.Moreover,the randomness,the time series complexity and the correlation of the new quaternary chaotic sequence are compared and studied.The simulation results demonstrate that the quaternary digital chaotic sequence obtained by the chaotic matrix has good randomness and correlation.

Intrusion Detection Model Using Chaotic MAP for Network Coding Enabled Mobile Small Cells

Wireless Network security management is difficult because of the ever-increasing number of wireless network malfunctions,vulnerabilities,and assaults.Complex security systems,such as Intrusion Detection Systems(IDS),are essential due to the limitations of simpler security measures,such as cryptography and firewalls.Due to their compact nature and low energy reserves,wireless networks present a significant challenge for security procedures.The features of small cells can cause threats to the network.Network Coding(NC)enabled small cells are vulnerable to various types of attacks.Avoiding attacks and performing secure“peer”to“peer”data transmission is a challenging task in small cells.Due to the low power and memory requirements of the proposed model,it is well suited to use with constrained small cells.An attacker cannot change the contents of data and generate a new Hashed Homomorphic Message Authentication Code(HHMAC)hash between transmissions since the HMAC function is generated using the shared secret.In this research,a chaotic sequence mapping based low overhead 1D Improved Logistic Map is used to secure“peer”to“peer”data transmission model using lightweight H-MAC(1D-LM-P2P-LHHMAC)is proposed with accurate intrusion detection.The proposed model is evaluated with the traditional models by considering various evaluation metrics like Vector Set Generation Accuracy Levels,Key Pair Generation Time Levels,Chaotic Map Accuracy Levels,Intrusion Detection Accuracy Levels,and the results represent that the proposed model performance in chaotic map accuracy level is 98%and intrusion detection is 98.2%.The proposed model is compared with the traditional models and the results represent that the proposed model secure data transmission levels are high.

Periodic performance of the chaotic spread spectrum sequence on finite precision

It is well known that the periodic performance of spread spectrum sequence heavily affects the correlative and secure characteristics of communication systems. The chaotic binary sequence is paid more and more attention since it is one kind of applicable spread spectrum sequences. However, there are unavoidable short cyclic problems for chaotic binary sequences in finite precision. The chaotic binary sequence generating methods are studied first. Then the short cyclic behavior of the chaotic sequences is analyzed in detail, which are generated by quantification approaches with finite word-length. At the same time, a chaotic similar function is defined for presenting the cyclic characteristics of the sequences. Based on these efforts, an improved method with scrambling control for generating chaotic binary sequences is proposed. To quantitatively describe the improvement of periodic performance of the sequences, an orthogonal estimator is also defined. Some simulating results are provided. From the theoretical deduction and the experimental results, it is concluded that the proposed method can effectively increase the period and raise the complexity of the chaotic sequences to some extent.

An image encryption algorithm based on improved baker transformation and chaotic S-box

The algorithm is an image encryption algorithm based on the improved baker transformation and chaotic substitution box(S-box). It mainly uses the initial values and parameters of a one-dimensional logistic chaotic system as an encryption key. Specifically, in the image scrambling stage, the algorithm primarily uses an improved baker transform method to process the image. In the image diffusion stage, the algorithm first uses the chaotic S-box method to process the encryption key. Secondly, an exclusive OR(XOR) operation is performed on the image and the encryption key to initially diffuse the image. Finally, the image is again diffused using the method of ortho XOR. Simulation analysis shows that the algorithm can achieve good encryption effect, simple and easy implementation, and good security. In the digital image communication transmission, it has good practical value.

An improved chaotic hybrid differential evolution for the short-term hydrothermal scheduling problem considering practical constraints

Short-term hydrothermal scheduling(STHTS) is a non-linear and complex optimization problem with a set of operational hydraulic and thermal constraints. Earlier, this problem has been addressed by several classical techniques; however, due to limitations such as non-linearity and non-convexity in cost curves, artificial intelligence tools based techniques are being used to solve the STHTS problem. In this paper an improved chaotic hybrid differential evolution(ICHDE) algorithm is proposed to find an optimal solution to this problem taking into account practical constraints. A self-adjusted parameter setting is obtained in differential evolution(DE) with the application of chaos theory, and a chaotic hybridized local search mechanism is embedded in DE to effectively prevent it from premature convergence. Furthermore, heuristic constraint handling techniques without any penalty factor setting are adopted to handle the complex hydraulic and thermal constraints. The superiority and effectiveness of the developed methodology are evaluated by its application in two illustrated hydrothermal test systems taken from the literature. The transmission line losses, prohibited discharge zones of hydel plants, and ramp rate limits of thermal plants are also taken into account. The simulation results reveal that the proposed technique is competent to produce an encouraging solution as compared with other recently established evolutionary approaches.

Security analysis of a new stream cipher

In this paper, we analyze the security of a new stream cipher-COSvd（2,128）. This cipher was proposed by E. Filiol et al. at the ECRYPT SASC＇2004 （The State of the Art of Stream Ciphers）. It uses clock-controlled non-linear feedback registers together with an S-box controlled by a chaotic sequence and was claimed to prevent any existing attacks. However, our analysis shows that there are some serious security flaws in the design of the S-box, resulting in heavy biased byte distribution in the keystream. In some broadcast applications, this flaw will cause a ciphertext-only attack with high success rate. Besides, there are also many security flaws in other parts of the cipher. We point out these flaws one by one and develop a divide-and-conquer attack to recover the secret keys from O（2^26）-byte known plaintext with success rate 93.4597% and complexity O（2^113）, which is much lower than 2^512, the complexity of exhaustive search.

Discrete memristive neuron model and its interspike interval-encoded application in image encryption

Bursting is a diverse and common phenomenon in neuronal activation patterns and it indicates that fast action voltage spiking periods are followed by resting periods.The interspike interval(ISI)is the time between successive action voltage spikes of neuron and it is a key indicator used to characterize the bursting.Recently,a three-dimensional memristive Hindmarsh-Rose(mHR)neuron model was constructed to generate hidden chaotic bursting.However,the properties of the discrete mHR neuron model have not been investigated,yet.In this article,we first construct a discrete mHR neuron model and then acquire different hidden chaotic bursting sequences under four typical sets of parameters.To make these sequences more suitable for the application,we further encode these hidden chaotic sequences using their ISIs and the performance comparative results show that the ISI-encoded chaotic sequences have much more complex chaos properties than the original sequences.In addition,we apply these ISI-encoded chaotic sequences to the application of image encryption.The image encryption scheme has a symmetric key structure and contains plain-text permutation and bidirectional diffusion processes.Experimental results and security analyses prove that it has excellent robustness against various possible attacks.
