Abstract:
Synchronized chaotic systems have recently been applied to the area of secure communications in a variety of ways. At the same time, there have also been significant advances in deciphering messages masked by chaotic signals. It is important, therefore, to explore more secure approaches to using chaos in communication. We show that multiple chaotic systems can be synchronized through a scalar coupling which carries a stochastic signal generated by random multiplexing of the source systems. This approach, which is a variant of the active-passive decomposition method, promises enhanced security in chaos-based communication.

Homogeneity dictates that if an input x(t) is multiplied by a constant c, the output y(t) is multiplied by the same constant. Mathematically, this is expressed as:
Linear time-invariant Systems
The input-output behavior of an LTI system can be fully defined by its response to an impulsive excitation at its input. Once this impulse response is known, the system's reaction to any other input can be calculated...
