Abstract

In this paper, a five-dimensional hyperchaotic system for secure communication based on MCU is proposed. First, a five-dimensional hyperchaotic system is constructed and the features such as equilibrium stability and Lyapunov exponents are analyzed. The states of this system with different parameters are studied, including periodic, hyperchaotic and chaotic state. Next, the complexity of system is analyzed. By analyzing the complexity of each dimension, the correctness of system selection is verified and the dimension with the highest complexity is selected for communication encryption. Then, the hardware circuit is designed. The encryption and decryption of square wave signal are completed through simulation which realizing the secure communication. Finally, the accuracy of system and the algorithm of realizing chaos of MCU are adjusted, and the system after adjustment is in a chaotic state verified by 0–1 test, the chaos is successfully generated by MCU. Using MCU can reduce the hardware cost of signal encryption greatly, and apply five-dimensional hyperchaotic system to secure communication can not only improve the security but also enhance the anti-interference ability in the process of signal transmission.
