Secure Communication Based on Hyperchaotic Underactuated Projective Synchronization

This paper proposes a scheme for secure telecommunication based on the projective synchronization of hyperchaotic systems. The design of the synchronizer considers the presence of disturbances to increase the robustness of the method. The main advantage of the proposed approach lies in that only two control inputs are required to synchronize the master and slave systems. Hence, the control structure is simple, which, in turn, simplifies the applications. Based on Lyapunov theory, the proposed approach ensures the finite-time convergence of the synchronization error to a small neighborhood of the origin, even in the presence of disturbances in all states. Simulations to both show the advantages and applications of the proposed approach were also accomplished to validate the theory.
