proposal for a binary stream cipher based on chaos theory
- Date Issued:
- 2000
- Summary:
- Today new secure cryptosystems are in great demand. Computers are becoming more powerful and old cryptosystems, such as the Data Encryption Standard (DES), are becoming outdated. This thesis describes a new binary additive strewn cipher (HK cryptosystem) that is based on the logistic map. The logistic map is not random, but works under simple rules to become complex, thus making it ideal for implementation in cryptography. Instead of basing the algorithm on one logistic map, the HK cryptosystem. averages several uncoupled logistic maps. Averaging the maps increases the dimension of such a system, thus providing greater security. This thesis will explore the strengths and weaknesses of the HK cryptosystem and will end by introducing a modified version, called the HK8 cryptosystem that does not have the apparent weakness of the HK system.
