Short description of project
This proposal aims at successful application of stochastic and deterministic optimization algorithms, as well as methods from the machine learning community, to current problems in cryptology. The project will investigate the efficiency of heuristic optimization algorithms, with evolutionary computation in particular, applied to the problems of creating nonlinear primitives for cryptography, such as Boolean functions and S-boxes. A part of this goal will also be devoted to optimization of hardware implementations of those primitives, primarily in the context of throughput maximization. Additionally, the proposal considers the problem of efficient search for parameters of successful fault analysis. The results of the project would not be easily attainable to the wider community without an appropriate collection of software tools for evaluation of candidate solutions to these problems and appropriate optimization algorithms. The final objective of this project is the creation of an accompanying open-sourcesoftware tool collection to facilitate usage by researchers in the field.
