Chaos-Based Secure Communication and Cryptography

Dear Colleagues,

In the last decade, chaotic systems have been widely used in chaos-based encryption and chaotic secure communications due to their dynamical complexity. In this Special Issue, we are specifically seeking submissions on chaos-based secure mechanisms and applications, including chaos-based block cipher, stream cipher, public key cipher, chaos-based multimedia security, chaos-based synchronization, chaotic optical communications, the design of chaotic source, complex networks, etc. However, we do not wish to restrict this Special Issue to these particular cases, and instead, encourage submissions specifically on foundational aspects, such as the dynamical degradation of chaotic systems, security evaluation of chaotic cryptography, and chaos-based cryptanalysis, etc.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the Special Issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
