SWITCHING SYNCHRONIZED CHAOTIC SYSTEMS APPLIED TO SECURE COMMUNICATION

The purpose of this paper is to study the behavior of the solutions of two synchronized chaotic systems when the solutions switch from the first to the second system and vice-versa. The initial condition is chosen in the first system and the solutions travels for time t is an element of [0, h], where h > 0. The value of the solution at time h is then chosen as the initial condition for the solution of the second system and this solution travels for time t is an element of [h, 2h]. The value of the solution at time 2h is then chosen as the initial value for the solution of the first system and so on. The first system is composed of two subsystems, Master and Slave that are synchronized. We present applications using the Lorenz, Chua and Chen systems. Some simulations using Matlab are presented.
