Abstract

Digital chaotic ciphers have been investigated for more than a decade. However, their overall performance in terms of the tradeoff between security and speed, as well as the connection between chaos and cryptography, has not been sufficiently addressed. We propose a chaotic Feistel cipher and a chaotic uniform cipher. Our plan is to examine crypto components from both dynamical-system and cryptographical points of view, thus to explore connection between these two fields. In the due course, we also apply dynamical system theory to create cryptographically secure transformations and evaluate cryptographical security measures.
