SLIDING MODE OBSERVERS AND OBSERVABILITY SINGULARITY IN CHAOTIC SYNCHRONIZATION L. BOUTAT-BADDAS, J. P. BARBOT, D. BOUTAT, AND R. TAULEIGNE Received 29 September 2003 and in revised form 28 January 2004 We present a new secured data transmission based on a chaotic synchronization and observability singularity. For this, we adopt an approach based on an inclusion of the message in the system structure and we use a sliding mode observer for system with un- known input in order to recover the information. We end the paper with an example of chaotic system with an observability bifurcation. Moreover, this example highlights some benefits of the so-called step-by-step sliding mode observer. 1. Introduction The main objective of this paper is to highlight the efficiency of mathematical tools such as normal form and bifurcation and also the efficiency of control theory method as slid- ing mode and observer design in the secure data transmission by the synchronization of chaotic systems. Since the last decade (see [16]), by its application to secure communications, the synchronization of the chaotic systems drew great attention of several control theory researchers (for the sake of simplicity, synchronization here means a unidirectional syn- chronization). An interesting approach to chaos synchronization based on the concept of observer design has been proposed in [15] by Nijmeijer and Mareels. More precisely, consider the two systems ˙ = f (x ), (1.1) x ˙ = f (z ), (1.2) z where x n n n n ∈ R , z ∈ R , and f : R → R is a nonlinear vector field. We say that systems ( 1.1) and (1.2) are synchronized if
