Efficient multiple pseudo-random number sequences (PRNS) and substitution boxes (S-
boxes) are one of the most significant building blocks, which are jointly adopted normally for …

Cryptography often involves substituting (and converting) the secret information into dummy
data so that it could reach the desired destination without leakage. Within symmetric key …

This paper introduces a new variant of the metaheuristic algorithm based on the naked mole
rat (NMR) algorithm, called the Q-learning naked mole rat algorithm (QL-NMR), for …

Encryption provides security in cases such as storing confidential information or transmitting
it over a network. Today, block cipher algorithms are generally used for encryption …

In today's digital society, new design alternatives are needed for substitution box structures,
which has critical importance in developing secure information systems that are resistant to …

Several dynamic substitution box (S-box) generators have been proposed in recent years.
Some of the existing S-box generators can generate an S-box with good cryptographic …

This paper introduces a new variant of a metaheuristic algorithm based on Agent Heroes
and Cowards Algorithm (AHC), called Adaptive Agent Heroes and Cowards Algorithm …

A metaheuristic approach based on the nature-inspired and well-known Grey Wolf
Optimization algorithm (GWO) was employed in this study to design an approach for …
