S‎ynchronization ‎of‎ different ‎dimensions‎ ‎fractional-‎order chaotic ‎systems with uncertain‎‎ ‎ parameters ‎and ‎secure ‎communication

In ‎this ‎paper, ‎an‎ adaptive ‎modified‎ function projective synchronization (‎AM‎FPS) ‎scheme‎ ‎of ‎different ‎dimensions‎‎ ‎fractional-‎order ‎chaotic systems with ‎fully ‎unknown parameters is ‎presented‎. ‎On the basis of ‎fractional‎ Lyapunov stability ‎theory ‎and adaptive control law‎,‎ a‎ ‎new‎ fractional-order controller ‎and‎ suitable ‎‎‎‎update ‎rules‎ for unknown parameters are ‎designed‎‎ to realize the ‎AMFPS‎ of different ‎fractional-‎order chaotic systems with ‎non-‎identical ‎orders ‎and different dimensions‎‎. ‎‎Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations are given to verify the validity ‎of ‎the proposed ‎method. ‎Additionally, ‎‎‎‎synchronization results ‎are applied to secure communication via ‎‎ ‎modified ‎‎‎‎masking ‎method. Due to the unpredictability of the scale ‎function ‎matrix‎ and ‎using‎ of ‎fractional-‎order ‎systems with different ‎dimensions ‎and ‎u‎nequal‎ ‎orders,‎‎ the proposed scheme has higher ‎security‎‎. The security analysis ‎‎‎demonstrate that the proposed algorithm ‎has ‎a large key space ‎and‎ high sensitivity to encryption keys ‎and it is ‎‎re‎sistance to all kind of ‎‎attacks‎.
