Extended Logistic Chaotic Sequence and Its Performance Analysis

In order to improve performance and security of image encryption algorithm effectively based on chaotic sequences, an extended chaotic sequence generating method is presented based on logistic chaotic system using Bernstein form Bézier curve generating algorithm. In order to test the pseudorandom performance of the extended chaotic sequence, we also analyze random performance, autocorrelation performance, and balance performance of the extended chaotic sequence. Simulation results show that the extended chaotic sequence generated using our method is pseudorandom and its correlation performance and balance performance are good. As an application, we apply the extended chaotic sequence in image encryption algorithm, the simulation results show that the performance of the encrypted image using our method is better than that using logistic chaotic sequence.
