This paper is concerned with the design of synchronized large-scale chaos random number generators (CRNGs) and its application to secure communication. In order to increase the diversity of chaotic signals, we firstly introduce additional modulation parameters in the original chaotic Duffing map system to modulate the amplitude and DC offset of the chaotic states. Then according to the butterfly effect, we implement modulated Duffing map systems with different initial values by using the microcontroller and complete the design of large-scale CRNGs. Next, a discrete sliding mode scheme is proposed to solve the synchronization problem of the master-slave large-scale CRNGs. Finally, we integrate the aforementioned results to implement an innovative secure communication system.
