Abstract:
The security of wireless systems has become a growing challenge resulting from the expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) into everyday life. Despite the many advantages driving the adoption of IoT devices, their proliferation increases the surface susceptible to advanced attacks that aim to misuse their resources and cause interruptions, delays, losses and degradation of the offered services in IoT. This paper introduces a chaotic transmission for Near Field Communication (NFC) Topology, based on the Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) systems. Traditional WPT circuits are based on inverters to create an oscillation for the transmitter coil. This results in systems relying only on software security. Therefore, we have introduced this topology which adopts chaotic encryption for NFC security. Furthermore, the proposed system is immune to man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks. The simulation results and tests prove the functionality of the chaotic WPT based on the Chua`s diode and their synchronisation between transmitter and receiver. The chaos generated is sampled by an electronic board and can be used for cryptography coding based on Python. The application for this system is a new NFC digital code for accessing the IoT services.
