Such map can generate chaotic signals that have uniform distribution function, δ-like autocorrelation function. Compared with the piecewise-linear map, this map provides enhanced security in that they can maintain the original perfect statistical properties, as well as overcome the defect of piecewise-linearity and expand the key space. This paper presents a scheme to improve the local complexity of the chaotic stream cipher based on the piecewise-quadratic-equationmap. Both the theoretic analysis and the results of simulation show that this scheme improves the microstructure of the phase-space graph on condition that the good properties of the original scheme are remained.展开更多

The chaotic sequences possesses good randomness and sensitive dependence on initial conditions, which is quite advantageous to run the FH codes in code-division multiple access (CDMA) systems. But the finite precision of computation and the fact of the low-dimensional chaos predicted easily cause difficulty in chaotic application. In this paper, some disadvantages associated with the conventional FH codes and the chaotic code scrambled by m-sequences are reviewed briefly. In order to overcome these drawbacks to some extents, a new higher performance FH code called cipher quasi-chaotic (CQC) code is proposed, which is generated by combining the clock-controlled stream cipher technique and chaotic dynamics. Performance analysis applying in FH communication systems of this kind of code is given. The privacy of the CQC sequence is also analyzed.展开更多
