First, it provides all the necessary concepts for understanding the principle of standard and chaos-based cryptography. Then, it introduces the elements of chaos theory. Subsequently, it deals with the design, hardware (on Field Programmable Gate Array) and software implementations as well as performance analysis of practical chaos-based cryptographic systems: pseudo-random number generators of chaotic sequences (PRNGs-CS), chaos-based stream and block ciphers, chaos-based hash functions and chaos-based authenticated encryptions.
