A Novel Digital Audio Encryption Algorithm Using Three Hyperchaotic Rabinovich System Generators by Ameer K. Jawad, Gholamreza Karimi, Mazdak Radmelkshahi

“…Three hyperchaotic systems allow digital audio signal randomized encryption. The first system generates chaotic random integer numbers as keys, the second selects non-sequential indices to increase unpredictability, and the third randomly samples the digital audio signal and encrypts it through XOR operations with a selected key, making it harder for intruders to learn the encryption pattern. …”
