ANTI-SYNCHRONIZATION CHAOS SHIFT KEYING METHOD BASED ON GENERALIZED LORENZ SYSTEM

In this paper, a modified version of the Chaos Shift Keying (CSK) scheme for secure encryption and decryption of data is proposed. The proposed scheme uses the effect of anti-synchronization, rather than synchronization. More specifically, the classical CSK method determines the correct value of binary signal through checking which unsynchronized system is getting synchronized. On the contrary, our novel method determines wrong value of binary signal through checking which already synchronized system is loosing synchronization. The advantage of the proposed method is two-fold. First, it requires very reasonable amount of data to encrypt and time to decrypt a single bit. Secondly, its security can be investigated and estimated as practically unbreakable. The main reason for both advantages is that anti-synchronization is thousand times faster than synchronization, even when using two close each to other chaotic systems. Our method is implemented and thoroughly tested on the recently introduced generalized Lorenz system (GLS) family making advantage of its special parametrization.
