Cryptography with chaotic mixing

We propose a cryptosystem based on one-dimensional chaotic maps of the form H p ( x ) = r p - 1 ∘ G ∘ r p ( x ) defined in the interval [0, 10 p ) for a positive integer parameter p, where G ( x ) = 10 x ( mod 10 ) and r p ( x ) = x p , which is a topological conjugacy between G and the shift map σ...

Description
Summary:We propose a cryptosystem based on one-dimensional chaotic maps of the form H p ( x ) = r p - 1 ∘ G ∘ r p ( x ) defined in the interval [0, 10 p ) for a positive integer parameter p, where G ( x ) = 10 x ( mod 10 ) and r p ( x ) = x p , which is a topological conjugacy between G and the shift map σ on the space Σ of the sequences with 10 symbols. There are three advantages in comparison with the recently proposed cryptosystem based on chaotic logistic maps F μ ( x ) = μ x ( 1 - x ) with 3 < μ ⩽ 4: (a) H p is always chaotic for all parameters p, (b) the knowledge of an ergodic measure allows assignments of the alphabetic symbols to equiprobable sites of H p ’s domain and (c) for each p, the security of the cryptosystem is manageable against brute force attacks.
