| The study of chaotic maps has become increasingly popular in the field of cryptography, however, its lack of cryptanalysis has lead to increasingly more complex systems rather than an understanding of what makes a chaotic system secure. An overal understanding of the relationship between cryptography and chaos is presented. A few chaotic cryptographic systems are presented in conjunction with their cryptanalysis. Finally, a discussion of what is required for a chaos-based cryptographic system to be considered secure will close out the paper. |
