To Design a Genetic Algorithm for Cryptography to Enhance the Security

In today’s age of information technology secure transmission of information is a big challenge. Traditional symmetric and asymmetric methods are not suitable when the needed level of security is high. Hash function based systems are although better than traditional methods but are still inadequate in many cases due to their algorithmic complexity as they need the invertible functions to generate hashes which are time consuming and complex. Digital signature is the new concept in field of cryptography but are much complex in implementation and increase server overhead. In present study, a genetic algorithm for cryptography has been proposed to find an optimized solution for a problem. In the proposed algorithm, the concept of genetic algorithm has been incorporated within cryptography algorithm to get an optimized solution and within minimum possible time.
