A chaotic secure communication scheme using fractional chaotic systems based on an extended fractional Kalman filter

In recent years chaotic secure communication and chaos synchronization have received ever increasing attention. In this paper, for the first time, a fractional chaotic communication method using an extended fractional Kalman filter is presented. The chaotic synchronization is implemented by the EFKF design in the presence of channel additive noise and processing noise. Encoding chaotic communication achieves a satisfactory, typical secure communication scheme. In the proposed system, security is enhanced based on spreading the signal in frequency and encrypting it in time domain. In this paper, the main advantages of using fractional order systems, increasing nonlinearity and spreading the power spectrum are highlighted. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, a numerical example based on the fractional Lorenz dynamical system is presented and the results are compared to the integer Lorenz system.     

A note on phase synchronization in coupled chaotic fractional order systems

The dynamic behaviors of fractional order systems have received increasing attention in recent years. This paper addresses the reliable phase synchronization problem between two coupled chaotic fractional order systems. An active nonlinear feedback control scheme is constructed to achieve phase synchronization between two coupled chaotic fractional order systems. We investigated the necessary conditions for fractional order Lorenz, Lü and Rössler systems to exhibit chaotic attractor similar to their integer order counterpart. Then, based on the stability results of fractional order systems, sufficient conditions for phase synchronization of the fractional models of Lorenz, Lü and Rössler systems are derived. The synchronization scheme that is simple and global enables synchronization of fractional order chaotic systems to be achieved without the computation of the conditional Lyapunov exponents. Numerical simulations are performed to assess the performance of the presented analysis.     

Active sliding observer scheme based fractional chaos synchronization

In this paper, a novel observer scheme is proposed for synchronization of fractional order chaotic systems. Our approach employs a combination of a classical sliding observer and an active observer, where the active observer serves to increase the attraction strength of sliding surface. Using the theory of Lyapunov function, synchronization of the fractional order response with the fractional order drive system is achieved in both ideal and mismatched cases. By merit of fractional order differentiation and integration, i.e. differintegration formula, it is proved that state synchronization is established in a finite time. Numerical simulations are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed observer.     

Multi‐switching combination–combination synchronization of non‐identical fractional‐order chaotic systems

In this paper, multi‐switching combination–combination synchronization scheme has been investigated between a class of four non‐identical fractional‐order chaotic systems. The fractional‐order Lorenz and Chen's systems are taken as drive systems. The combination–combination of multi drive systems is then synchronized with the combination of fractional‐order Lü and Rössler chaotic systems. In multi‐switching combination–combination synchronization, the state variables of two drive systems synchronize with different state variables of two response systems simultaneously. Based on the stability of fractional‐order chaotic systems, the multi‐switching combination–combination synchronization of four fractional‐order non‐identical systems has been investigated. For the synchronization of four non‐identical fractional‐order chaotic systems, suitable controllers have been designed. Theoretical analysis and numerical results are presented to demonstrate the validity and feasibility of the applied method. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Projective synchronization between different fractional‐order hyperchaotic systems with uncertain parameters using proposed modified adaptive projective synchronization technique

In the present article, the authors have proposed a modified projective adaptive synchronization technique for fractional‐order chaotic systems. The adaptive projective synchronization controller and identification parameters law are developed on the basis of Lyapunov direct stability theory. The proposed method is successfully applied for the projective synchronization between fractional‐order hyperchaotic Lü system as drive system and fractional‐order hyperchaotic Lorenz chaotic system as response system. A comparison between the effects on synchronization time due to the presence of fractional‐order time derivatives for modified projective synchronization method and proposed modified adaptive projective synchronization technique is the key feature of the present article. Numerical simulation results, which are carried out using Adams–Boshforth–Moulton method show that the proposed technique is effective, convenient and also faster for projective synchronization of fractional‐order nonlinear dynamical systems.

Synchronization of nonlinear fractional order systems

This paper deals with the master-slave synchronization scheme for partially known nonlinear fractional order systems, where the unknown dynamics is considered as the master system and we propose the slave system structure which estimates the unknown state variables. For solving this problem we introduce a Fractional Algebraic Observability (FAO) property which is used as a main tool in the design of the master system. As numerical examples we consider a fractional order Rössler hyperchaotic system and a fractional order Lorenz chaotic system and by means of some simulations we show the effectiveness of the suggested approach.

Estimating parameters of chaotic systems under noise-induced synchronization

Kim et al. introduced in 2002 [Kim CM, Rim S, Kye WH. Sequential synchronization of chaotic systems with an application to communication. Phys Rev Lett 2002;88:014103] a hierarchically structured communication scheme based on sequential synchronization, a modification of noise-induced synchronization (NIS). We propose in this paper an approach that can estimate the parameters of chaotic systems under NIS. In this approach, a dimensionally-expanded parameter estimating system is first constructed according to the original chaotic system. By feeding chaotic transmitted signal and external driving signal, the parameter estimating system can be synchronized with the original chaotic system. Consequently, parameters would be estimated. Numerical simulation shows that this approach can estimate all the parameters of chaotic systems under two feeding modes, which implies the potential weakness of the chaotic communication scheme under NIS or sequential synchronization.

Synchronization of fractional order chaotic systems using active control method

In this article, the active control method is used for synchronization of two different pairs of fractional order systems with Lotka–Volterra chaotic system as the master system and the other two fractional order chaotic systems, viz., Newton–Leipnik and Lorenz systems as slave systems separately. The fractional derivative is described in Caputo sense. Numerical simulation results which are carried out using Adams–Bashforth–Moulton method show that the method is easy to implement and reliable for synchronizing the two nonlinear fractional order chaotic systems while it also allows both the systems to remain in chaotic states. A salient feature of this analysis is the revelation that the time for synchronization increases when the system-pair approaches the integer order from fractional order for Lotka–Volterra and Newton–Leipnik systems while it reduces for the other concerned pair.     

Exponential synchronization for fractional‐order chaotic systems with mixed uncertainties

This article focuses on the problem of exponential synchronization for fractional‐order chaotic systems via a nonfragile controller. A criterion for α‐exponential stability of an error system is obtained using the drive‐response synchronization concept together with the Lyapunov stability theory and linear matrix inequalities approach. The uncertainty in system is considered with polytopic form together with structured form. The sufficient conditions are derived for two kinds of structured uncertainty, namely, (1) norm bounded one and (2) linear fractional transformation one. Finally, numerical examples are presented by taking the fractional‐order chaotic Lorenz system and fractional‐order chaotic Newton–Leipnik system to illustrate the applicability of the obtained theory. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Image encryption based on synchronization of fractional chaotic systems

This paper deals with a synchronization scheme for two fractional chaotic systems which is applied in image encryption. Based on Pecora and Carroll (PC) synchronization, fractional-order Lorenz-like system forms a master–slave configuration, and the sufficient conditions are derived to realize synchronization between these two systems via the Laplace transformation theory. An image encryption algorithm is introduced where the original image is encoded by a nonlinear function of a fractional chaotic state. Simulation results show that the original image is well masked in the cipher texts and recovered successfully through chaotic signals. Further, the cryptanalysis is conducted in detail through histogram, information entropy, key space and sensitivity to verify the high security.

In this paper, a new fractional‐order chaotic system and an adaptive synchronization of fractional‐order chaotic system are proposed. Parameters adaption laws are obtained to design adaptive controllers using Lyapunov stability theory of fractional‐order system. Finally, reliability of designed controllers and risk analysis of adaptive synchronization problem are formulated and, risk of using the proposed controllers in presences of external disturbances are demonstrated. Also, risk of controllers are reduced using an optimizing method. Numerical examples are used to verify the performance of the proposed controllers.     

An application of Chen system for secure chaotic communication based on extended Kalman filter and multi-shift cipher algorithm

In recent years chaotic secure communication and chaos synchronization have received ever increasing attention. In this paper a chaotic communication method using extended Kalman filter is presented. The chaotic synchronization is implemented by EKF design in the presence of channel additive noise and processing noise. Encoding chaotic communication is used to achieve a satisfactory, typical secure communication scheme. In the proposed system, a multi-shift cipher algorithm is also used to enhance the security and the key cipher is chosen as one of the chaos states. The key estimate is employed to recover the primary data. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, a numerical example based on Chen dynamical system is presented and the results are compared to two other chaotic systems.     

A chaos secure communication scheme based on multiplication modulation

A secure spread spectrum communication scheme using multiplication modulation is proposed. The proposed system multiplies the message by chaotic signal. The scheme does not need to know the initial condition of the chaotic signals and the receiver is based on an extended Kalman filter (EKF). This signal encryption scheme lends itself to cheap implementation and can therefore be used effectively for ensuring security and privacy in commercial consumer electronics products. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, a numerical example based on Genesio-Tesi system and also Chen dynamical system is presented and the results are compared.     

On chaos control and synchronization of the commensurate fractional order Liu system

In this work, we study chaos control and synchronization of the commensurate fractional order Liu system. Based on the stability theory of fractional order systems, the conditions of local stability of nonlinear three-dimensional commensurate fractional order systems are discussed. The existence and uniqueness of solutions for a class of commensurate fractional order Liu systems are investigated. We also obtain the necessary condition for the existence of chaotic attractors in the commensurate fractional order Liu system. The effect of fractional order on chaos control of this system is revealed by showing that the commensurate fractional order Liu system is controllable just in the fractional order case when using a specific choice of controllers. Moreover, we achieve chaos synchronization between the commensurate fractional order Liu system and its integer order counterpart via function projective synchronization. Numerical simulations are used to verify the analytical results.     

Modified generalized projective synchronization of a new fractional-order hyperchaotic system and its application to secure communication

This paper presents a new fractional-order hyperchaotic system. The chaotic behaviors of this system in phase portraits are analyzed by the fractional calculus theory and computer simulations. Numerical results have revealed that hyperchaos does exist in the new fractional-order four-dimensional system with order less than 4 and the lowest order to have hyperchaos in this system is 3.664. The existence of two positive Lyapunov exponents further verifies our results. Furthermore, a novel modified generalized projective synchronization (MGPS) for the fractional-order chaotic systems is proposed based on the stability theory of the fractional-order system, where the states of the drive and response systems are asymptotically synchronized up to a desired scaling matrix. The unpredictability of the scaling factors in projective synchronization can additionally enhance the security of communication. Thus MGPS of the new fractional-order hyperchaotic system is applied to secure communication. Computer simulations are done to verify the proposed methods and the numerical results show that the obtained theoretic results are feasible and efficient.     

Synchronization and antisynchronization of N‐coupled fractional‐order complex chaotic systems with ring connection

This paper is devoted to investigate synchronization and antisynchronization of N‐coupled general fractional‐order complex chaotic systems described by a unified mathematical expression with ring connection. By means of the direct design method, the appropriate controllers are designed to transform the fractional‐order error dynamical system into a nonlinear system with antisymmetric structure. Thus, by using the recently established result for the Caputo fractional derivative of a quadratic function and a fractional‐order extension of the Lyapunov direct method, several stability criteria are derived to ensure the occurrence of synchronization and antisynchronization among N‐coupled fractional‐order complex chaotic systems. Moreover, numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design.
