Using the concept of synchronized chaotic systems the signal masking approach is demonstrated with the Duffing oscillator implemented in both the transmitter and receiver. The chaotic masking signal is added at the transmitter to the information signal, and at the receiver, the masking is regenerated and subtracted from the received signal. Chaotic behavior and chaotic masking scheme are designed and simulated using Simulink/Matlab program. All the results are used to illustrate the effectiveness and the applicability of the Duffing oscillator in signal masking communication. ER
