In this study, a chaos based encryption method with nonlinear equations in MATLAB environment is proposed to increase communication security. Encryption methods that generated by using the properties of three different chaos generators are analyzed. Logistic Map, Pinchers Map and Sine-Circle Map chaos generators which are commonly referred in the literature are used to realize applications. Performance is analyzed by using time and entropy values.

In the paper, we futher consider a fractional-order system from a modified Chua’s circuit system with the smooth degree of 3 proposed by Fu et al. Bifurcation analysis, multistability and coexisting attractors in the the fractional-order modified Chua’s circuit are studied. In addition, microcontroller-based circuit was implemented in real digital engineering applications by using the fractional-order Chua’s circuit with the piecewise-smooth continuous system.
