Chaotic systems leverage their inherent complexity and unpredictability to generate cryptographic keys, enhancing the security of encryption algorithms. This paper presents a comparative study of 13 chaotic keymaps. Several evaluation metrics, including keyspace size, dimensions, entropy, statistical properties, sensitivity to initial conditions, security level, practical implementation, and adaptability to cloud computing, are utilized to compare the keymaps. Keymaps such as Logistic, Lorenz, and Henon demonstrate robustness and high-security levels, offering large key space sizes and resistance to attacks. Their efficient implementation in a cloud computing environment further validates their suitability for real-world encryption scenarios. The context of the study focuses on the role of the key in encryption and provides a brief specification of each map to assess the effectiveness, security, and suitability of the popular chaotic keymaps for encryption applications. The study also discusses the security assessment of resistance to the popular cryptographic attacks: brute force, known plaintext, chosen plaintext, and side channel. The findings of this comparison reveal the Lorenz Map is the best for the cloud environment based on a specific scenario.
