Designing a multi-scroll chaotic system by operating Logistic map with fractal process

Abstract

Recently, chaotic systems have been widely investigated in several engineering applications. This paper presents a new chaotic system based on Julia’s fractal process, chaotic attractors and Logistic map in a complex set. Complex dynamic characteristics were analyzed, such as equilibrium points, bifurcation, Lyapunov exponents and chaotic behavior of the proposed chaotic system. As we know, one positive Lyapunov exponent proved the chaotic state. Numerical simulation shows a plethora of complex dynamic behaviors, which coexist with an antagonist form mixed of bifurcation and attractor. Then, we introduce an algorithm for image encryption based on chaotic system. The algorithm consists of two main stages: confusion and diffusion. Experimental results have proved that the proposed maps used are more complicated and they have a key space sufficiently large. The proposed image encryption algorithm is compared to other recent image encryption schemes by using different security analysis factors including differential attacks analysis, statistical tests, key space analysis, information entropy test and running time. The results demonstrated that the proposed image encryption scheme has better results in the level of security and speed.
