Hyper-chaotic systems can exhibit a higher level of complexity in comparison with the chaotic systems. However, they require more resources when they are realized on a modular field-programmable gate array (FPGA). In this paper, we introduce full hardware/software comparison and security analysis of three-dimensional chaotic and four-dimensional hyper-chaotic oscillator systems. The two systems (previously implemented only in analog form) are realized on a modular FPGA hardware platform to generate high-speed random bit-streams. The realization is performed using two versions of VHDL code, one is generated automatically using a MATLAB HDL-Coder, and the optimized one which is manually written. The work explores the features of each oscillator system such as throughput, FPGA resources utilization, operating clock frequency, and security of the generated bit-streams, to show a …
