Automated Design of Stream Ciphers Using GADS
The main objective of this chapter is to propose a new effective algorithm to design stream cipher systems automatically using simulated annealing algorithm and genetic programming with a different method for representing the genetic programming population individuals. Usually the individual programs represented as LISP expressions; in the proposed method the programs are represented as strings of integers representing the individual program syntactic rule numbers. Genetic programming with this representation method is called genetic algorithm for developing software (GADS). The performance of the proposed algorithm will be studied by applying different genetic methods and parameters. Furthermore, it will be compared with other representation methods such as LISP expression.
