Hyperchaos-based cryptosytem to secure WSN data transfer for smart home application

The purpose of this work is to introduce a new crypto-system for the protection of information transfer within the context of the intelligent home implementation. A Hyperchaos-based Key Stream Generator (H-KSG) based on Chen's Hyperchaos scheme is used to produce high-performance dynamic key chips with high quality randomness as confirmed by conventional National Institute of Standards and Technologies (NIST) statistical tests. The advanced crypto-system was implemented on microcontroller-based ARM architecture and tested for smart home applications. Efficiency and high safety level of the proposed system are shown by the outcomes of cryptanalysis and the required safety tests. The results of cryptanalysis and the necessary security performance tests show the efficiency and the high level of security of the proposed system.
