In this paper, we present an algorithm for encrypting audio files based on the Ikeda map, a mathematical function of chaos theory. Detailed experimental, security and theoretical analysis is provided on the proposed algorithm using histogram analysis, using different measurements including the signal-to-noise ratio, the peak signal-to-noise ratio, the number of samples change rate and the correlation coefficient. The provided results show a highly secure and strong algorithm against different types of attacks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
