A simple 8-bit digital microcontroller implementation for chaotic sequence generation

Abstract

This paper introduces a simple implementation of digital chaotic sequence generator. The implementation is based on using microcontroller ATMGA 16 to generate the chaotic map required for advanced encryption standard (AES) encryption scheme s-box and radar frequency agile control. The implemented circuit is simple, low cost and suitable for use with identification friend or foe (IFF) equipped with data encryption systems. The circuit also can changes the carrier frequency of the transmitted signal based on chaotic map, benefits a security and confidentiality to the radar waveform against Electronic Counter Measurement (ECM). The circuit generates 256 random sequences at different initial conditions and each of them has 256 sequences generated from different bifurcation parameters. The circuit is simulated under Matlab program environment and Proteus circuit simulation program. A security analysis for the implemented circuit is demonstrated. The results show the superiority of the circuit for generating the random sequences forming an efficient s-box for IFF system and radar frequency agility.
