APPLICATION OF ANT COLONY ALGORITHM FOR REALIZATION OF TRANSPOSITION CIPHERS CRYPT ANALYSIS

Abstract

Possibility of application of ant colony algorithms for realization of the transposition ciphers cryptanalysis is studied. Its application to the plain text results in the cryptogram received by shifting symbols of the plain text in a certain order. It is shown how this problem can be restricted to a classical problem of allocation solved by ant colony algorithm. The solution algorithm is given. An example of ant algorithm performance is described.
