Abstract

In this paper, an active control technique is employed for anti-synchronization between two identical fractional order reverse butterfly-shaped hyperchaotic systems. We have shown that the convergence rate of anti-synchronization error is very faster by increasing the value of an active controller gain. A new algorithm for image encryption and decryption is introduced and established by anti-synchronized fractional order dynamical systems. Experimental results show that the proposed encryption algorithm has high level security against various attacks. Further, it confirms that the new algorithm is more efficient compared to other existing algorithms.
