Abstract

We present a neural-network approach for computer network security. The approach uses a neural network to learn the decryption and public key creation. It is a new potential source for public key cryptographic schemes which are not based on number theoretic functions, and have small time and memory complexities. The proposed method follows the asymmetric model. While the encryption process and private key creation are based on Boolean algebra, the decryption process is based on a neural network technique. The application of this method shows that the possibility of guessing keys is extremely weaker than using the Data Encryption Standard method (DES), which is a widely-used method of data encryption.
