Chaos theory in secure communication

Abstract

Chaotic system is a deterministic system with great sensitivity to initial conditions. There are many nonlinear systems around us which behave chaotically. Therefore, the control and prediction of chaos have attracted great interests from researchers of different fields. There are a lot of potential applications in economics, biology, chemistry, fluid dynamics, secure communication, etc. During the last decade, a new approach for secure communication, based on chaotic dynamics attracted the attention of the scientific community. In this study, we focused on the secure communication method which based on chaos theory. At first, this paper briefly introduces about chaos theory, after that describing the secure communication via chaos-based encryption. At last, we give the summary and suggestions for next researches.
