A Novel Chaos-Based Encryption Algorithm for Secure Communication Systems

Abstract

Data transmission security is of the utmost importance in many fields and industries, including healthcare, finance, military activities, and more. By capitalizing on the intrinsic unpredictability of chaotic systems, Dynamic Chaos Cipher overcomes the shortcomings of current encryption technologies, rendering it an essential answer for safeguarding contemporary communication. Modern cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, making it difficult for conventional encryption approaches to keep ahead. In an effort to address these issues and provide resilience against ever-changing attack vectors, Dynamic Chaos Cipher introduces dynamic parameters rooted in chaos theory. The algorithm is more secure because chaotic systems are inherently complicated and unpredictable. The Dynamic Chaos Cipher-Based Encryption Algorithm (DCC-EA) described in this paper uses a novel key generation technique based on chaos that adapts in real-time over conversations. The approach improves the nonlinearity and unpredictability necessary for secure encryption by generating pseudo-random sequences using chaotic maps with carefully selected initial conditions. To prevent attacks that target static cryptographic keys, the key is dynamic. Among the many fields that can benefit from DCC-EA's adaptability is the transfer of sensitive medical data, financial transactions, and military communications. Its adaptability to changing parameters makes it a good fit for mission-critical systems in the real world and guarantees strong security for a wide range of uses. Data confidentiality and integrity are well maintained by DCC-EA, according to extensive simulation analyses. The algorithm's robustness and effectiveness in comparison to more conventional encryption approaches are shown through extensive testing against a wide range of attack scenarios. Results from the simulation show that DCC-EA can successfully secure critical data in ever-changing communication settings.
