Applying Neural Networks for Simplified Data Encryption Standard (SDES) Cipher System Cryptanalysis.

The problem in cryptanalysis can be described as an unknown and the neural networks are ideal tools for black-box system identification. In this paper, a mathematical black-box model is developed and system identification techniques are combined with adaptive system techniques, to construct the Neuro-Identifier. The Neuro-Identifier is discussed as a black-box model to attack the target cipher systems. In this paper, a new addition in cryptography has been presented and the methods of block Simplified DES (SDES) crypto systems are discussed. The constructing of Neuro-Identifier mode is to achieve two objectives: The first is to emulator construction Neuro-model for the target cipher system, while the second is to (cryptanalysis) determine the key from given plaintext-ciphertext pair.
