Abstract
In this work, we describe the model of a new 5-D hyperchaotic system with three positive Lyapunov exponents. Since the maximum positive Lyapunov exponent of the proposed hyperchaotic system is larger than twelve, the new hyperchaotic system is highly hyperchaotic. We also show that the new 5-D hyperchaotic system exhibits multistability with coexisting attractors. Using Multisim, we design an electronic circuit for the new 5-D hyperchaotic system. The hardware implementation of the new 5-D hyperchaotic system is done by applying two numerical methods. From the experimental results of the FPGA-based implementation, we show that the attractors observed in a Lecroy oscilloscope are in good agreement with numerical simulations. To prove the reliability of the proposed system for cybersecurity purposes, we presented a new image cryptosystem using our hyperchaotic system. Experimental outcomes show the efficiency and the reliability of our cryptosystem based on the proposed hyperchaotic system.
