Enhancement of speech scrambles using DNA technique and chaotic maps over transformation domain

Abstract

This work presents and describes a new method for speech scrambles in light of chaotic maps and DNA coding. Both a wavelet transform (DWT) and Discrete cosine transform (DCT) are used to change the speech signal into another format for processing. The chaotic maps are represented by Logistic-Chebyshev map (LCH) and Random Logistic map (RLM) which are employed for generating sequences of keys that are used in the proposed system, hence the use of DNA encoding technology as an emerging technology for enhancing the security of speech. The proposed system is illustrated explicitly and tested with various security speech signals metrics, such as the coefficient, signal to noise ratio and peak signal to noise ratio. All tests of the proposed system concluded that the speech signal is reliably secure and undetectable, and hence the proposed system provides a sufficient security level.
