Atmel AVR microcontroller implementation of a new enciphering algorithm based on a chaotic Generalized Hénon Map

Abstract

This paper aims to present an electronic implementation of an enciphering algorithm proposed in order to overcome the drawback of the chaotic systems described by polynomial equations when the secret key of the communication is established deriving their bifurcation parameters. The Generalized Hénon Map is the chaotic system that embeds the classical substitution-transposition cipher. Atmel AVR microcontrollers are used as transmitter and receiver of the secret information.
