A discrete-time discrete-value pseudo-chaotic encoder/decoder system is presented. The pseudo-chaotic module is a 3D discrete version of the well-known Lorenz dynamical system. Scaling and biasing transformations as well as natural number arithmetics are employed in order to simplify realizations on a small size Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA. The encryption ability is improved by using only the least significant byte of one of the pseudo chaotic state variables as the key to encrypt the plain text. The key is periodically perturbed by another chaotic state variable. The statistical properties of the pseudo chaotic cipher are compared with those of other pseudo-random generators available in the literature. As an example of applicability of the technique, a full duplex communication system is designed and constructed using FPGA's as technological framework.
The security of FPGAs is a crucial topic, as any vulnerability within the hardware can have severe consequences, if they are used in a secure design. Since FPGA designs are encoded in a bitstream, securing the bitstream is of the utmost importance. Adversaries have many motivations to recover and manipulate the bitstream, including design cloning, IP theft, manipulation of the design, or design subversions e.g., through hardware Trojans. Given that FPGAs are often part of cyber-physical systems e.g., in aviation, medical, or industrial devices, this can even lead to physical harm. Consequently…
In this paper we have proposed a method that uses chaotic logistic mapping and DNA encoding to encrypt the image. A 32 bit ASCII private key is used to diffuse the image. The results demonstrated clearly show that encryption algorithm based on chaotic logistic mapping and DNA encoding gives better result than encrypting only with chaotic logistic mapping. The proposed method also takes into account the possible parametric like Peak Signal to Noise Ratio and Structure Similarity.
Recently, an image block encryption algorithm was proposed based on some well-known chaotic maps. The authors claim that the encryption algorithm achieves enough security level and high encryption speed at the same time. In this paper, we give a thorough security analysis on the algorithm from the perspective of modern cryptology and report some critical security defects on the algorithm. Given five chosen plain-images and the corresponding cipher-images, the attacker can obtain an equivalent secret key to successfully decrypt the other cipher-images encrypted with the same secret key. In addi…
There are some good combinatorial structures suitable for image encryption. In this study, a new chaotic image encryption algorithm based on transversals in a Latin square is proposed. By means of an n-transversal of a Latin square, we can permutate an image data group by group for the first time, then use two Latin squares for auxiliary diffusion on the basis of a chaotic sequence, finally make use of a pair of orthogonal Latin squares to do the second scrambling. As a whole, the encryption process of "scrambling-diffusion-scrambling" is formed. The experimental results indicate that this alg…
This paper proposes three different chaotic encryption methods using 1-D chaotic map known as Logistic map named as Logistic, NLFSR and Modified NLFSR according to the name of chaotic map and non-linear function involved in the scheme. The designed schemes have been crypt analyzed for five different methods for testing its strength. Cryptanalysis has been performed for various texts using various keys selected from domain of key space. Logistic and NLFSR methods are found to resist known plaintext attack for available first two characters of plaintext. Plaintext sensitivity of both methods is …
The increase in data traffic on the internet has significantly increased the relevance of data and image encryption. Among the techniques most used in cryptography, chaotic systems have received great attention due to their easy implementation. However, it has recently been observed that these systems can lose their chaotic properties due to the finite precision of computers. In this work, we intend to investigate flexible computing tools, particularly interval analysis, to reduce this problem. We opted for the Lorenz System, as it is one of the few systems whose chaoticity is proven analytica…

With the increasing awareness of privacy protection and data fragmentation problem, federated learning has been emerging as a new paradigm of machine learning. Federated learning tends to utilize various privacy preserving mechanisms to protect the transferred intermediate data, among which homomorphic encryption strikes a balance between security and ease of utilization. However, the complicated operations and large operands impose significant overhead on federated learning. Maintaining accuracy and security more efficiently has been a key problem of federated learning. In this work, we inves…
Chaotic maps are very important for establishing chaos-based image encryption systems. This paper introduces a coupling chaotic system based on a certain unit transform, which can combine any two 1D chaotic maps to generate a new one with excellent performance. The chaotic behavior analysis has verified this coupling system's effectiveness and progress. In particular, we give a specific strategy about selecting an appropriate unit transform function to enhance chaos of generated maps. Besides, a new chaos based pseudo-random number generator, shorted as CBPRNG, is designed to improve the distr…
With meteoric developments in communication systems and data storage technologies, the need for secure data transmission is more crucial than ever. The level of security provided by any cryptosystem relies on the sensitivity of the private key, size of the key space as well as the trapdoor function being used. In order to satisfy the aforementioned constraints, there has been a growing interest over the past few years, in studying the behavior of chaotic systems and their applications in various fields such as data encryption due to characteristics like randomness, unpredictability and sensiti…
FHE offers protection to private data on third-party cloud servers by allowing computations on the data in encrypted form. However, to support general-purpose encrypted computations, all existing FHE schemes require an expensive operation known as bootstrapping. Unfortunately, the computation cost and the memory bandwidth required for bootstrapping add significant overhead to FHE-based computations, limiting the practical use of FHE. In this work, we propose FAB, an FPGA-based accelerator for bootstrappable FHE. Prior FPGA-based FHE accelerators have proposed hardware acceleration of basic FHE…
In this paper, we introduce a hybrid chaos map for image encryption method with high sensitivity. This new map is sensitive to small changes in the starting point and also in control parameters which result in having more computational complexity. Also, it has uniform distribution that provides resisting of the new system against attacks in security applications. Various tests and plots are demonstrated to show more chaotic behavior of the proposed system. Finally, to show the ability of the generated chaotic map in the existences image cryptography approaches, we further report some results i…
Nowadays, the chaotic cryptosystems are gaining more attention due to their efficiency, the assurance of robustness and high sensitivity corresponding to initial conditions. In literature, on one hand there are many encryption algorithms that only guarantee security while on the other hand there are schemes based on chaotic systems that only promise the uncertainty. Due to these limitations, each of these approaches cannot adequately encounter the challenges of current scenario. Here we take a unified approach and propose an image encryption algorithm based on Lorenz chaotic system and primiti…
