Abstract :A hardware implementation of a quadratic map through FPGA platform is proposed in this paper. Firstly, a chaotic quadratic map is modeled by using Matlab/Simulink programming and then implemented into the FPGA insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Field Programmable Gate Array); to be used for key generation for cryptographic applications. When the quadratic map is in chaotic mode, its output is unpredictable and aperiodic. Besides this, the map has a uniform output distribution and sufficient randomness. These characteristics make the chaotic quadratic map a suitable key generator for cryptography. This paper also reveals the successful real-time implementation of the quadratic map using FPGA for practical applications. Experimental results confirm that the feasibility of the quadratic map is verified under a digital hardware environment.
