Realization Of A Secure Visible Light Communication System Via Chaos Synchronization

A novel technique for transmission of information through visible light communication (VLC) is developed in this study. A light-emitting diode is used as the light source at the transmitting side to send the encrypted information. At the receiving side, a light sensor, OPT-101, is used to receive the light signals that carry the encrypted information. The Arduino Due microcontroller board is used for digital signal processing at both the transmitting and receiving sides. Furthermore, to prevent the transmitted message from being intercepted, two chaotic systems, a master and a slave, with a synchronization controller are designed to obtain the transmitted audio signals. The design enables not only a VLC system with the light transmission path as a straight line (so that data cannot be stolen) but also the encryption of the audio signals with the chaotic system (Rossler system) to enhance data transmission security. The effectiveness of this system is then experimentally verified.
