Abstract

An FPGA-based chaotic "true" random number generator (RNG) is targeted. In the demonstration, the target system encrypts an image using keys generated by the chaotic system. A new response system using auto-synchronization method is suggested. It tries to decrypt the encrypted image without knowing the secret key. Experimental results prove that it is possible to estimate secret key generated by the target system by only monitoring limited scalar time series from the chaotic RNG.
