A State-of-the-Art Analysis of Genetic Algorithm in Cryptography

Nowadays, generating cryptographic keys using genetic algorithms can be an essential approach in the field of network security. Network Security protects our network and data from different types of attacks. It is a broad and all-encompassing phrase that refers to processes, policies, and configurations pertaining to network security, accessibility, overall threat protection, and hardware and software solutions. However, it’s important to note that genetic algorithms are typically used for optimization problems. Nonetheless, I can provide you with a basic outline of how a genetic algorithm could be applied to crucial generations in a simplified scenario. Keys play an important role in network security and are essential for ensuring data confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity in various cryptographic Techniques. In this paper, we will work on Symmetric Key cryptography. Here only one Private Key is used for both side encryption and decryption purposes.
