FPGA Implementation of a Chaotic Quadratic Map for Cryptographic Applications

A hardware implementation of a quadratic map through FPGA platform is proposed in this paper. Firstly, a chaotic quadratic map is modeled by using Matlab/Simulink programming and then implemented into the FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) to be used for key generation for cryptographic applications. When the quadratic map is in chaotic mode, its output is unpredictable and aperiodic. Besides this, the map has a uniform output distribution and...
