Hardware Implementation of A Chaotic Pseudo Random Number Generator Based on 3D Chaotic System without Equilibrium

摘要

Deterministic chaotic systems have been studied and developed in various fields of research. Dynamical systems with chaotic dynamics have different applications in communication, security and computation. Chaotic behaviors can be created by even simple nonlinear systems which can be implemented on low-cost hardware platforms. This paper presents a high-speed and low-cost hardware of three-dimensional chaotic flows without equilibrium. The proposed chaotic hardware is able to reproduce the main mechanism and dynamical behavior of the 3D chaotic flows observed in simulation, then a Chaotic Pseudo Random Number Generator is designed based on a 3D chaotic system. The proposed hardware is implemented with low computational overhead on an FPGA board, as a proof of concept. This low-cost chaotic hardware can be utilized in embedded and lightweight systems for a variety of chaotic based digital systems such as digital communication systems, and cryptography systems based on chaos theory for Security and IoT applications.
