Hardware Speech Encryption Using a Chaotic Generator, Dynamic Shift and Bit Permutation

Abstract

This paper proposes a speech encryption and decryption system, its hardware architecture design and FPGA implementation. The system utilizes Nosé Hoover chaotic generator and/or dynamic shift and bit permutation. The effect of different blocks in the proposed encryption scheme is studied and the security of the system is validated through perceptual and statistical tests. The complete encryption scheme is simulated using Xilinx ISE 14.5 and realized on FPGA Xilinx Kintex 7, presenting the experimental results on the oscilloscope. The efficiency is also validated through hardware resources utilization compared to previous works based on maximum frequency and throughput.
