Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, chaos theory and compressive sensing technology both play a significant role in enhancing data security. Chaotic systems have inherent randomness, ergodicity, and sensitivity to initial conditions that make them well-suited for applications such as encryption. Their dynamic and unpredictable nature provides a layer of security that makes encrypted signals difficult to decode without the encryption key. Meanwhile, compressive sensing allows for the reconstruction of data from far fewer sampling measurements or “dimensions” compared to traditional methods like Nyquist sampling. When combined with chaotic systems, compressive sensing further improves security by compacting the original data structure. These nonlinear dynamics and dimension reduction approaches offer new ways to safeguard sensitive information and help address growing concerns around cyber threats and privacy. Their utilization in security protocols and systems design could significantly strengthen protections for communications, embedded devices, networks, and databases.

The research on chaotic system modeling and its entropy analysis, compressed sampling technology, and its security application is increasing. In addition, the research in this area needs further exploration and innovation. Meanwhile, it is necessary to combine new computer technology and artificial intelligence methods to explore new methods for the security application of chaotic systems and compressive sensing. We very much welcome contributions centered around solving these problems.

This Special Issue aims to become a forum to introduce new and improved technologies of chaotic system modeling, entropy analysis, and compressed sampling. In particular, with the help of chaotic systems and compressive sensing, combined with new computer technology and artificial intelligence methods, proposing new multimedia data encryption and privacy protection schemes fall within the scope of this Special Issue.

Protecting sensitive patient data, such as electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, during RF wireless transmission is essential due to the increasing demand for secure telemedicine communications. This paper presents an innovative chaotic-based encryption system designed to enhance the security and integrity of telemedicine data transmission. The proposed system utilizes a multi-scroll chaotic system for ECG signal encryption based on master–slave synchronization. The ECG signal is encrypted by a master system and securely transmitted to a remote location, where it is decrypted by a slave system using an extended state observer. Synchronization between the master and slave is achieved through the Lyapunov criteria, which ensures system stability. The system also supports Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and adaptive n-quadrature amplitude modulation (n-QAM) schemes to optimize signal discretization. Experimental validations with a custom transceiver scheme confirmed the system’s effectiveness in preventing channel overlap during 2.5 GHz transmissions. Additionally, a commercial RF Power Amplifier (RF-PA) for LTE applications and a development board were integrated to monitor transmission quality. The proposed encryption system ensures robust and efficient RF transmission of ECG data, addressing critical challenges in the wireless communication of sensitive medical information. This approach demonstrates the potential for broader applications in modern telemedicine environments, providing a reliable and efficient solution for the secure transmission of healthcare data.
