Abstract Frequency hopping is an important anti-jamming and anti-interception technique that is widely used in communication systems. Frequency hopping is then combined with cryptographic algorithms to offer better security. This paper presents a frequency hopping communication system based on an optimized ZUC algorithm with three layers. The introduction of a permutation polynomial in the top layer increases the linear complexity while the evolutionary DES algorithm in the bottom layer achieves high security of the sequences. Security and randomness tests show that the resultant sequences have good hamming correlations, randomness, and linear complexity and pass the NIST test as well. Finally, the system was successfully implemented in the Simulink system.
