I was asked to read this

Fundamentals of a classical chaos-based cryptosystem with some quantum
cryptography similarities
Vidal G, Baptista MS & Mancini H
International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos
World Scientific Publishing Company

I am not aware of a single quality paper on chaos-based cryptography. I've never even seen a paper on chaos-based cryptography where the authors had the slightest idea of what secure encryption means, or how to do anything beyond the most basic cryptanalysis.

The submission probably belongs in the reject pile.

Abstract: We present the fundamentals of a cryptographic method
          based on a hyperchaotic system and a protocol which
          inherits some properties of the quantum cryptography but
          that can be straightforwardly applied on the existing
          communication systems of non-optical communication channels,
          and it is an appropriate tool to provide security on
          software applications for VoIP, as in Skype, dedicated
          to voice communication through Internet. This would enable
          that an information packet be sent through Internet
          preventing attacks with similar strategies to the employed
          if this same packet is transferred in an optical channel
          under a quantum cryptographic scheme. This method relies
          on fundamental properties that chaotic signals and coupled
          chaotic systems have. Some of these properties had never
          been explored to communicate securely.


I clearly need to read something else first.
Suggestions?
