Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Secure data transmission is a critical challenge for scientists and engineers. With the development of quantum computers, classical methods of cryptography are under threat. Today, quantum cryptography is a topical trend in secure communication systems.

The main problem in the transmission of confidential information is distributing the secret key between two remote correspondents. For each user, random string identical bits are formed, which are used as a cryptographic key. To ensure absolute secrecy in the cryptographic system, it is necessary to satisfy certain conditions: the key should be completely random, key length should be greater than or equal to the length of the encoded message, and a key can be used only once. A solution to ensure secrecy in key distribution is based on the principles of quantum cryptography and includes coding quantum state of a single particle (photon). The secrecy and the impossibility of unauthorized access to the messages are based on the laws of quantum physics, as opposed to classical methods of cryptography, which are based on mathematical patterns and potentially indecipherable.

This Special Issue invites original reviews and articles on optical electronic systems, communications, control and systems engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, nanomaterials, quantum optics in quantum cryptography, quantum protocols, optical circuits and components, vulnerabilities, and quantum key distribution systems.

In this paper, a method to enhance the dynamic characteristics of one-dimension (1D) chaotic maps is first presented. Linear combinations and nonlinear transform based on existing chaotic systems (LNECS) are introduced. Then, a numerical chaotic map (LCLS), based on Logistic map and Sine map, is given. Through the analysis of a bifurcation diagram, Lyapunov exponent (LE), and Sample entropy (SE), we can see that CLS has overcome the shortcomings of a low-dimensional chaotic system and can be used in the field of cryptology. In addition, the construction of eight functions is designed to obtain an S-box. Finally, five security criteria of the S-box are shown, which indicate the S-box based on the proposed in this paper has strong encryption characteristics. The research of this paper is helpful for the development of cryptography study such as dynamic construction methods based on chaotic systems. Full article
