A Novel Memristor-Based Multi-Vortex Hyper-Chaotic Circuit Design and its Application in Image Encryption

Abstract

This paper proposes a new four-dimensional hyper-chaotic system capable of generating multi-wing chaotic attractors by introducing active magnetron memristors, multi-segmented square functions and trigonometric functions. The dynamical properties of this new hyper-chaotic system, such as equilibrium point, dissipation, Lyapunov exponential spectrum, bifurcation diagram and Poincaré cross-section and attraction basin, are analyzed theoretically and simulated numerically, and the complexity of this system with different parameters is analyzed. It is observed that this hyper-chaotic system has periodic, chaotic and hyper-chaotic variations with an infinite number of equilibria and coexisting attractors under different parameter conditions. The circuit simulation was performed using Multisim and the results obtained were consistent with the numerical analysis of the dynamics, and the chaotic circuit system is designed by FPGA to verify the realizability of the system. Finally, an image encryption algorithm is designed in conjunction with the DNA algorithm to enable a new system chaotic sequence for image encryption. The results show that the hyper-chaotic system has rich dynamical behavior and has high-security performance when applied to image encryption with strong chaotic key and plaintext sensitivity and large key space in image encryption.
