Since people use chaos extensively for a wide range of applications in data encryption and secure communications, a new method for designing practical high-dimensional discrete hyperchaotic systems is proposed for the first time in this paper. This method controls the range of the Lyapunov exponents in reverse by adding control variables so that the range of the values of the Lyapunov exponents is controlled within a specified interval, which is more suitable for engineering applications. Then, it is mathematically proved that the method ensures that the orbits of chaotic systems are globally finite and their Lyapunov exponents are bounded. In addition, as a practical demonstration of the selective image encryption scheme based on target template matching introduced in this paper, a 6-D discrete hyperchaotic system was created, and the analysis of the simulation results verifies the applicability of the 6-D hyperchaotic system designed by the method presented in this paper in the field of image encryption.
