Data encryption based on a 9D complex chaotic system with quaternion for smart grid

With the development of smart grid, operation and control of a power system can be realized through the power communication network, especially the power production and enterprise management business involve a large amount of sensitive information, and the requirements for data security and real-time transmission are gradually improved. In this paper, a new 9-dimensional (9D) complex chaotic system with quaternion is proposed for the encryption of smart grid data. Firstly, we present the mathematical model of the system, and analyze its attractors, bifurcation diagram, complexity, and 0-1 test. Secondly, the pseudo-random sequences are generated by the new chaotic system to encrypt power data. Finally, the proposed encryption algorithm is verified with power data and images in the smart grid, which can ensure the encryption security and real time. The verification results show that the proposed encryption scheme is technically feasible and available for power data and image encryption in smart grid.
