A Novel Audio Cryptosystem Using Chaotic Maps and DNA Encoding

الملخص EN

Chaotic maps have good potential in security applications due to their inherent characteristics relevant to cryptography.

This paper introduces a new audio cryptosystem based on chaotic maps, hybrid chaotic shift transform (HCST), and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) encoding rules.

The scheme uses chaotic maps such as two-dimensional modified Henon map (2D-MHM) and standard map.

The 2D-MHM which has sophisticated chaotic behavior for an extensive range of control parameters is used to perform HCST.

DNA encoding technology is used as an auxiliary tool which enhances the security of the cryptosystem.

The performance of the algorithm is evaluated for various speech signals using different encryption/decryption quality metrics.

The simulation and comparison results show that the algorithm can achieve good encryption results and is able to resist several cryptographic attacks.

The various types of analysis revealed that the algorithm is suitable for narrow band radio communication and real-time speech encryption applications.
