Abstract

Security of information transmitted through the Internet, against passive or active attacks is an international concern. The use of a chaos-based pseudo-random bit sequence to make it unrecognizable by an intruder, is a field of research in full expansion. This mask of useful information by modulation or encryption is a fundamental part of the TLS Internet exchange protocol. In this paper, a new method using discrete chaotic iterations to generate pseudo-random numbers is presented. This pseudo-random number generator has successfully passed the NIST statistical test suite (NIST SP800-22). Security analysis shows its good characteristics. The application for secure image transmission through the Internet is proposed at the end of the paper.
