Octaviana Datcu, Radu Hobincu, Lucian Petrică Dynamically changing the secret key of an FPGA chaos-based cipher
ABSTRACT: As a continuation of previous work, where a discrete-time Baptista-type chaos-based cipher was implemented in a Xilinx FPGA module, this paper proposes a more complex scheme involving hybrid dynamics. A continuous chaotic evolution is utilized to dynamically and randomly change the secret key of the discrete-time part. This work describes the design of a continuous-time chaotic transmitter meant to embed the secret key as well as a high order sliding mode differentiator also designed such that it is capable of estimating the dynamics of the transmitter, and Baptista's algorithm secret key, conceptualized as its unknown input.KEYWORDS: Baptista type algorithms; chaos-based cryptography; high order sliding mode observers; estimationRead full text (pdf)
