Enhancing 5G Security with New Encryption

Project Title: Ensuring Data Security in 5G Systems Using Watermarking and Developing a New Encryption Algorithm

Project Description:

This project involves an application that uses watermarking to ensure data security in 5G systems. The project includes approximately 1200 lines of code that aims to enhance the security of modulated data using 16-QAM modulation and OFDM frames. The modulated data is processed using phase modulation through watermarking with the help of DMRS (Demodulation Reference Signal). These signals are encrypted with a key-based hash function (SHA-1) and subjected to channel effects, such as frequency shifting and AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise), for simulation. After the signal is degraded, it is demodulated to ensure data security.

Project Requirements and Expectations:

The goal is to develop a new encryption algorithm to make the existing code more original. This new encryption method will use a chaos-based approach to further enhance the security features.

A detailed report will be prepared, explaining the project's operation, the methods used, challenges faced, and improvements made. The report will also include original visuals to help clarify the techniques employed.

What is Expected:

** Analyze the existing 5G security code and implement the new encryption algorithm.
**Integrate chaos-based encryption methods.
**Prepare a detailed report explaining the project's process and the results obtained.
**Support the report with original visuals.

Note: For this project, seeking help from AI-based applications like ChatGPT may not be beneficial. Since the project requires technical depth, manual analysis and original development are necessary.

Note: The existing codebase is written in Matlab. Include detailed comments throughout the code to explain the logic and highlight any complex algorithms or calculations. The report should include an in-depth analysis, covering detailed explanations of each method and challenge.
