This paper presents two encryption methods utilizing 2-dimensional chaotic maps, namely Duffing's and Arnold's cat maps, aimed at improving cryptographic security against brute-force attacks. The authors analyze these methods for key sensitivity and identify identifiable keys to counteract the limitations of traditional chaotic cryptosystems, which often suffer from small key spaces. Results indicate that both ciphers demonstrate good sensitivity and robustness against known plaintext and brute-force attacks, reinforcing the potential of chaotic systems in enhancing cryptographic techniques.
