In this paper, we propose an image encryption algorithm based on random walk and two hyperchaotic systems. The random walk method is adopted to scramble the position of pixels within a block. Furthermore, the permutation operation between blocks is presented to enhance the scramble effect. Thus, high correlation among pixels of original image is broken by permutation. Moreover, the chosen plaintext attack is used to test the anti-attack ability of the proposed algorithm. By analyzing experimental results and comparing with other image encryption algorithms, we show that the proposed algorithm has better performance and higher security. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A memristor is the fourth circuit element, which has wide applications in chaos generation. In this paper, a four-dimensional hyperchaotic jerk system based on a memristor is proposed, where the scroll number of the memristive jerk system is controllable. The new system is constructed by introducing one extra flux-controlled memristor into three-dimensional multiscroll jerk system. We can get different scroll attractors by varying the strength of memristor in this system without changing the circuit structure. Such a method for controlling the scroll number without changing the circuit structure is very important in designing the modern circuits and systems. The new memristive jerk system can exhibit a hyperchaotic attractor, which has more complex dynamic behavior. Furthermore, coexisting attractors are observed in the system. Phase portraits, dissipativity, equilibria, Lyapunov exponents and bifurcation diagrams are analyzed. Finally, the circuit implementation is carried out to verify the new system.

By adding only one smooth flux-controlled memristor into a three-dimensional (3D) pseudo four-wing chaotic system, a new real four-wing hyperchaotic system is constructed in this paper. It is interesting to see that this new memristive chaotic system can generate a four-wing hyperchaotic attractor with a line of equilibria. Moreover, it can generate two-, three- and four-wing chaotic attractors with the variation of a single parameter which denotes the strength of the memristor. At the same time, various coexisting multiple attractors (e.g. three-wing attractors, four-wing attractors and attractors with state transition under the same system parameters) are observed in this system, which means that extreme multistability arises. The complex dynamical behaviors of the proposed system are analyzed by Lyapunov exponents (LEs), phase portraits, Poincaré maps, and time series. An electronic circuit is finally designed to implement the hyperchaotic memristive system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
