This work studies the dynamics, control and synchronization of hyperchaotic Lorenz-stenflo system and its
application to secure communication. The proposed designed nonlinear feedback controller control and
globally synchronizes two identical Lorenz-stenflo hyperchaotic systems evolving from different initial
conditions with unknown parameters. Adaptive synchronization results were further applied to secure
communication. The numerical simulation results were presented to verify the effectiveness of the designed
nonlinear controller and its success in secure communication application.
