Recovered Message
21
Hardware Revisited
  • Sensitivity to Parameter Mismatch


  • Implies Strong Tendency to Reject Improper Password


  • Future Project:  DSP + Parameter Matching
22
Conclusions
  • Multiplexing obscures the state space
  • Forecasting will be less effective
  • The system offers increased security
  • Oscillators are low order
  • Requires a single channel
  • Parameter Mismatch
