'Encryption using Ant algorithms

I have seen research papers about using genetic algorithms and neural networks(neurocrypto) for encryption purposes. Can't we use ant colony optimization algorithms for encryption? Is there any recent attempts?



Solution 1:[1]

I can't really think of a way to use Ant colony optimization algorithms for encryption, but I know of attempts to use them for Cryptanalysis and decryption.

This paper is an attempt to use Ant Colony Optimization to do a cryptanalysis of four-rounded DES, they use the swarm to look for the secret key on a directed graph they constructed.

Hope that helps.
