Chaos-based engineering applications with a 3D chaotic system without equilibrium points

Abstract

There has recently been an increase in the number of new chaotic system designs and chaos-based engineering applications. In this study, since homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits did not exist and analyses like Shilnikov method could not be used, a 3D chaotic system without equilibrium points was included and thus different engineering applications especially for encryption studies were realized. The 3D chaotic system without equilibrium points represents a new different phenomenon and an almost unexplored field of research. First of all, chaotic system without equilibrium points was examined as the basis and electronic circuit application of the chaotic system was realized and oscilloscope outputs of phase portraits were obtained. Later, chaotic system without equilibrium points was modelled on Labview Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and then FPGA chip statistics, phase portraits and oscilloscope outputs were derived. With another study, VHDL and RK-4 algorithm were used and a new FPGA-based chaotic oscillators design was achieved. Results of Labview-based design on FPGA- and VHDL-based design were compared. Results of chaotic oscillator units designed here were gained via Xilinx ISE Simulator. Finally, a new chaos-based RNG design was achieved and internationally accepted FIPS-140-1 and NIST-800-22 randomness tests were run. Furthermore, video encryption application and security analyses were carried out with the RNG designed here.
