Abstract:
Most of the events in the real world show non-linear behavior. Such events are usually chaotic. Chaotic systems are highly sensitive to the initial conditions and parameters values, exhibit non-periodic properties, and some have a very broad frequency spectrum. Because of these features, chaotic systems are used in different branches of science such as encryption, communication, random number generators, prediction algorithms, computer games, biology, medicine. In this regard, a variety of chaotic and hyper-chaotic systems are introduced in the literature. However, because of chaotic systems are very sensitive to initial conditions and parameters, chaotic systems need to be synchronized in order to be used in chaos-based communication and encryption applications. In this study, a new chaotic system presented by Lai and Chen in 2016 was synchronized with active control method. Consequently, it is shown that the Lai-Chen chaotic system can be synchronized and used in chaos-based communication and encryption applications.
