Recent developments in quantum computing pose a significant threat to the asymmetric cryptography currently in use. Neural cryptography offers a potential alternative that is resistant to attacks of known quantum computer algorithms. The considered solution is lightweight and computationally efficient. If a quantum computer algorithm were successfully implemented, it could expose IoT sensors and smart grid components to a wide range of attack vectors. Given the lightweight nature of neural cryptography and the potential risks, neural cryptography could have potential applications in both IoT sensors and smart grid systems. This paper evaluates one of the suggested enhancements: the use of integer-valued input vectors that accelerate the synchronization of the Tree Parity Machine. This enhancement introduces a new parameter M that indicates the minimum and maximum values of input vector elements. This study evaluates the nonbinary version of the mutual learning algorithm in a simulated insecure environment. The results indicate that, while the Nonbinary Tree Parity Machine may involve some trade-offs between security and synchronization time, the speed improvement is more substantial than the decrease in security. The impact of this enhancement is particularly significant for smaller adjustments to parameter M.

Artificial Neural Synchronization Using Nature Inspired Whale Optimization

In this article, a whale optimization-based neural synchronization has been proposed for the development of the key exchange protocol. At the time of exchange of sensitive information, intruders can effortlessly perform sniffing, spoofing, phishing, or Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attack to tamper the vital information. Information needs to be secretly transmitted with high level of encryption by preserving the authentication, confidentiality, and integrity factors. Such stated requirements urge the researchers to develop a neural network-based fast and robust security protocol. A special neural network structure called Double Layer Tree Parity Machine (DLTPM) is proposed for neural synchronization. Two DLTPMs accept the common input and different weight vectors and update the weights using neural learning rules by exchanging their output. In some steps, it results in complete synchronization, and the weights of the two DLTMs become identical. These identical weights serve as a secret key. There is, however, hardly any research in the field of neural weight vector optimization using a nature-inspired algorithm for faster neural synchronization. In this article, whale optimization-based DLTPM is proposed. For faster synchronization, this proposed DLTPM model uses a whale algorithm optimized weight vector. This proposed DLTPM model is faster and has better security. This proposed technique has been passed through a series of parametric tests. The results have been compared with some recent techniques. The results of the proposed technique have shown effective and has robust potential.The associate editor coordinating the review of this manuscript and approving it for publication was Jiafeng Xie.secret while he may be able to follow the structure of the algorithm.

Neural synchronization is a technique for establishing the cryptographic key exchange protocol over a public channel. Two neural networks receive common inputs and exchange their outputs. In some steps, it leads to full synchronization by setting the discrete weights according to the specific rule of learning. This synchronized weight is used as a common secret session key. But there are seldom research is done to investigate the synchronization of a cluster of neural networks. In this paper, a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)-based synchronization of a cluster of neural networks with three hidden layers is proposed for the development of the public-key exchange protocol. This paper highlights a variety of interesting improvements to traditional GAN architecture. Here GAN is used for Pseudo-Random Number Generators (PRNG) for neural synchronization. Each neural network is considered as a node of a binary tree framework. When both i-th and j-th nodes of the binary tree are synchronized then one of these two nodes is elected as a leader. Now, this leader node will synchronize with the leader of the other branch. After completion of this process synchronized weight becomes the session key for the whole cluster. This proposed technique has several advantages like (1) There is no need to synchronize one neural network to every other in the cluster instead of that entire cluster can be able to share the same secret key by synchronizing between the elected leader nodes with only logarithmic synchronization steps. (2) This proposed technology provides GAN-based PRNG which is very sensitive to the initial seed value. (3) Three hidden layers leads to the complex internal architecture of the Tree Parity Machine (TPM). So, it will be difficult for the attacker to guess the internal architecture. (4) An increase in the weight range of the neural network increases the complexity of a successful attack exponentially but the effort to build the neural key decreases over the polynomial time. (5) The proposed technique also offers synchronization and authentication steps in parallel. It is difficult for the attacker to distinguish between synchronization and authentication steps. This proposed technique has been passed through different parametric tests. Simulations of the process show effectiveness in terms of cited results in the paper.
