Analysis and implementation of a novel robust transmission scheme for private digital communications using Arduino Uno board

摘要

In this paper, we present a new scheme for the secured transmission of discrete information based on hyperchaotic discrete dynamics. The system is a modified-Henon hyperchaotic discrete-time oscillator considered as transmitter and a delayed step-by-step observer used as receiver. The transmitter parameters play the role of secret keys of the transmission scheme. To increase the robustness of the secure data transmission against known plain-text attacks, the message to be sent is encrypted by additional secret keys and inserted by inclusion method in the chaotic discrete-time system dynamics. By this way, the parameters used as secret keys cannot be identified with usual techniques. Simulation results are presented to highlight the performances of the proposed method. One of the main contributions of this paper is to demonstrate the feasibility of discrete realization of a chaotic observer-based secured transmission scheme. Indeed, experimental implementation results using Arduino Uno board validate the proposed approach, since it exhibits good performances of throughput and cost in terms of resources used.
