Pseudo-Random Bit Generator Based on Couple Chaotic Systems and its Application in Stream-Ciphers Cryptography

Chaotic cryptology is widely investigated recently. This paper reviews the progress in this area and points out some existent problems in digital chaotic ciphers. As a comprehensive solution to these problems, a novel pseudo-random bit generator based on a couple of chaotic systems called CCS-PRBG is presented. Detailed theoretical analyses show that it has perfect cryptographic properties, and can be used to construct stream ciphers with higher security than other chaotic ciphers. Some experiments are made for confirmation. Finally, several examples of stream ciphers based on digital CCS-PRBG are given, and their security is discussed
