Chaos Based Information Hiding and Security

Digital chaotic generators have been investigated for many decades. However, their performances in terms of the tradeoff between security and speed, as well as their use in many systems for secure information, has not been sufficiently addressed and demonstrated. We propose a very efficient digital chaotic generator and we demonstrate its capability to build robust and fast chaos based cryptosystems, and chaos based steganography systems. Also, the proposed chaotic generator, can be used to build efficient chaos based watermarking systems.
