Hanzhong Zheng, Simin Yu, Xiangqian Xu · Mathematical Problems in Engineering · 2014
A systematic methodology is developed for multi‐images encryption and decryption and field programmable gate array (FPGA) embedded implementation by using single discrete time chaotic system. To overcome the traditional limitations that a chaotic system can only encrypt or decrypt one image, this paper initiates a new approach to design n‐dimensional (n‐D) discrete time chaotic controlled systems via some variables anticontrol, which can achieve multipath drive‐response synchronization. To that end, the designed n‐dimensional discrete time chaotic controlled systems are used for multi‐images encryption and decryption. A generalized design principle and the corresponding implementation steps are also given. Based on the FPGA embedded hardware system working platform with XUP Virtex‐II type, a chaotic secure communication system for three digital color images encryption and decryption by using a 7D discrete time chaotic system is designed, and the related system design and hardware implementation results are demonstrated, with the related mathematical problems analyzed.
