An adaptive chaotic secure communication scheme with channel noises

In this Letter, an adaptive secure communication scheme with channel noises is proposed. Based on the idea of chaotic masking-modulation, the message is encrypted by a chaotic signal. By using adaptive feedback control techniques, the transmitter and the receiver are synchronized, so the masked signal can be perfectly recovered by the receiver in the presence of channel noises. In light of the Lyapunov stability theory for stochastic differential equations, several theoretical results are rigorously established. Finally, the famous Chua's circuits is used to illustrate the possible applications of the obtained theoretical results, and the computer simulations show that the proposed scheme is feasible and efficient.
