Fast and secure chaotic stream cipher with a MEMS-based seed generator

In this work, we have used a new concept of sensor-based seed generator in order to generate the keys for a stream cipher based on a new algorithm mixing a Skew Tent Map and a Linear Feedback Shift Register. The cryptosystem has been implemented in a Xilinx Virtex 7 FPGA and has been proven to be fast and secure for application in IoT networks.
