Keywords: piezoelectricity, cryptography, MEMS, non-linear phenomena, chaos

Abstract: Chaos’ complexity enables a large variety of implementations in many different fields. Micro-ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) are also at the heart of many applications. Combining them both could generate disruptive devices by bringing original solutions to current problems. In particular, synchronization of chaotic signals is at the verge of a new form of cryptography, more complex to decode but using the same standards as current secured communications [1], while secured data transfer have recently proven to have few weaknesses in some fields.
Using a new methodology developed at TIMA [2], [3], this thesis will demonstrate secured communications between two MEMS that are not necessarily similar. Using different characterization methods, numerical simulations will be performed to obtain a deeper understanding of the chaotic devices.
