AB  - Attention has recently been focused on irregular aspects of the behaviour of dynamical systems. One
of such behavioural modes is chaos which has been widely reported as having a great potential in
communications. This study aimed at demonstrating the major concepts in non-linear dynamics and chaos and
the application of these properties in communication. The behavioural modes of logistic map which is a simple
dynamical system were investigated with different values of system parameters and initial conditions by
computer simulation using Microsoft Excel. The simulation results indicated the sensitivities of the logistic map
to parameter changes as well as variations in the initial conditions. The noise-like chaotic trajectory obtained
for certain parameter value was employed in masking a message signal. The resulting signal confirmed the
potential application of chaos in secure communication.
