Comparative analysis of the secure communication schemes based on the generators of hyperbolic strange attractor and strange nonchaotic attractor
The purpose of this work is to analyse qualitative features of the information transmission process via several communication schemes based on the synchronization of transmitter and receiver, both being complex signal generators. For this purpose generators of the hyperbolic chaos and generators with the strange nonchaotic attractor are employed. Evaluation of advantages and disadvantages of such schemes is made comparing themselves with each other as well as with schemes based on the nonhyperbolic chaotic generators.
Methods. The power spectra and the distributions of the largest finite-time Lyapunov exponent are used to confirm the complexity of the dynamics of the generators in use and to verify the wide-bandness, robustness and stochasticity of their signals. Confidentiality of the informational signal transmission is achieved using its nonlinear mixing to the dynamics of the transmitter. The special phase mixing is used since the model generators employed for the research demonstrate nontrivial dynamics for the angular variable — oscillations phase shift. The digital image is used as an information for transmission. Visual control during the transmission process allows to carry out the qualitative analysis of the success of the signal coding and its detecting by the receiver.
Results. Successful transmission and decoding of information for all schemes under investigation are demonstrated for the case of identical transmitter and receiver. Parameter detuning of these generators leads to difficulties in separation of the informational signal from the chaotic/complex carrier due to loss of the full synchronization. For the nonhyperbolic chaos detuning of the parameter responsible for the amplitude of the signal leads to the bad quality of the detection while frequency detuning makes detection absolutely impossible. Schemes with the hyperbolic chaos and strange nonchaotic dynamics appear to demonstrate much better results. The information detection is much better in this case because of the robustness of the generalized synchronization.
Conclusion. Robust chaotic and complex nonchaotic generators appear to have significant advantages for communication systems comparing to the chaotic generators of nonhyperbolic type.
