Chaos-based cryptography, attracting many researchers in the past decade, is a research field across two fields, i.e., chaos (nonlinear dynamic system) and cryptography (computer and data security). It Chaos properties, such as randomness and ergodicity, have been proved to be suitable for designing the means for data protection. The book gives a thorough description of chaos-based cryptography, which consists of chaos basic theory, chaos properties suitable for cryptography, chaos-based cryptographic techniques, and various secure applications based on chaos.

基于混沌的密码学是一个横跨混沌（非线性动力学系统）和密码学（计算机和数据安全）两个领域的研究领域，在过去十年中吸引了许多研究人员。它的混沌特性，如随机性和遍历性，已被证明适合设计数据保护手段。该书对基于混沌的密码学进行了全面的描述，包括混沌基本理论、适用于密码学的混沌特性、基于混沌的密码学技术以及基于混沌的各种安全应用。
