1. A method for communicating at least one information signal from a transmitter to a receiver comprising the steps of:

  • a) providing a transmitter for generating a transmitter signal said transmitter being based on a chaotically varying system;

    b) modulating at least one electrical parameter in said transmitter with an information signal to generate a chaotically varying modulated transmitter signal including a plurality of states;

    c) transmitting only a selected portion of said modulated transmitter signal to a receiver, said selected portion including less than all of said states;

    d) providing said receiver with initial parameter information for said transmitter;

    e) applying said selected portion of said modulated transmitter signal to an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) in said receiver; and

    f) generating an estimate of said information signal with said EKF using only said selected portion of said modulated transmitter signal and said initial parameter information.
