This paper deals with the H∞ synchronization problem of switched chaotic systems accompanied by a time-driven switching law and its application to secure communications. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory and linear matrix inequality (LMI) and linear matrix equality (LME) optimization techniques, an output feedback controller that guarantees the synchronization of switched master-slave chaotic systems is designed. A chaotic encryption technique that uses synchronization is proposed for securely transmitting a message over public channels. Numerical simulations of both analog and digital security communication systems are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
