Multi-Party Key Exchange Protocol using Neural Network at CSIR Centre for Mathematical Modelling and Computer Simulation (C-MMACS), National Aerospace Lab
  • India
  • July 2003 to May 2004

Title: Multy-party Key Exchange Protocol using Neural Network.
Operating System : LINUX 9.0
Languages: : C, Network Programming, Socket Programming, Shell Script.
GUI : Glade

Abstract
The secret key exchange protocol is based on the synchronization of feed forward neural networks by mutual learning .The networks are trained on their mutual output bits using the Hebbian learning rule and finally, they synchronize to a state with identical time dependent weight. An opponent who snoops on all ongoing transaction should be unable to deduce the secret key. The time required for synchronization must be very small compared to learning time required for the opponent to synchronize with the communicating party. A daughter key generation and data encryption and decryption application is to be developed using the session key established in order to prove the utility of the novel session key generation protocol.
