A Novel Chaotic Encryption Algorithm Based on Fuzzy Rule-Based Sugeno Inference: Theory and Application

OpenAlex İngilizce

This study proposes a robust chaotic encryption framework based on a Fuzzy Rule-Based Sugeno Inference (FRBSI) system, integrated with high-level security analyses. The algorithm employs a dynamic mixture of Lorenz chaotic state variables, which are numerically modeled using the Euler-Forward method to ensure computational accuracy. Unlike conventional methods, the carrier signal’s characteristics are not static; instead, its amplitude and dynamic behavior are continuously adapted through the FRBSI mechanism, driven by the instantaneous thresholds of the information signal. The security of the proposed system was rigorously evaluated through Histogram analysis, Number of Pixels Change Rate (NPCR), and Unified Average Changing Intensity (UACI) metrics, which confirmed the algorithm’s high sensitivity to plaintext variations and resistance against differential attacks. Furthermore, Key Sensitivity tests demonstrated that even a single-bit discrepancy in the receiver-side Sugeno rule base leads to a total failure in signal reconstruction, providing a formidable defense against brute-force attempts. The system’s performance was validated in the MATLAB/Simulink of R2021a version environment, where frequency and time-domain analyses were performed via oscilloscope and Fourier transforms. The results indicate that the proposed multi-layered fuzzy-chaotic structure significantly outperforms traditional encryption techniques in terms of unpredictability, structural security, and robustness.
