Because the conventional chaos masking communication scheme is vulnerable t
o dynamics-based and identification-based attacks, in this paper, we develo
p a robust digital secure communication scheme by exploiting sporadic coupl
ing synchronization of Lorenz system. The new scheme can not only withstand
the attacks effectively but also improves the frequency efficiency and noi
se resistibility, etc. The secure property and system performance are theor
etically analyzed. Computer simulations are performed to illustrate the eff
ectiveness and efficiency of our new scheme.
