Finite-time generalized synchronization of non-identical fractional order chaotic systems and its application in speech secure communication.

This paper focuses on the finite-time generalized synchronization problem of non-identical fractional order chaotic (or hyper-chaotic) systems by a designing adaptive sliding mode controller and its application to secure communication. The effects of both disturbances and model uncertainties are taken into account. A novel fractional order integral sliding mode surface is designed and its stability to the origin is proved in a given finite time. By the aid of the fractional Lyapunov stability theory, a robust controller with adaptive update laws is proposed and its finite-time stability for generalized synchronization between two non-identical fractional-order chaotic systems in the presence of model uncertainties and external disturbances is derived. Numerical simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the presented approach. All simulation results obtained are in good agreement with the theoretical analysis. According to the proposed generalized finite-time synchronization criterion, a novel speech cryptosystem is proposed to send or share voice messages privately via secure channel. Security and performance analyses are given to show the practical effect of the proposed theories.
