Deep-Learning-based Cryptanalysis through Topic Modeling

Abstract

Neural cryptography is a technique that uses neural networks for secure data encryption. Cryptoanalysis, on the other hand, deals with analyzing and decrypting ciphers, codes, and encrypted text without using a real key. Chosen-plaintext cryptanalysis is a subfield of cryptanalysis where both plain text and ciphertext are available and the goal is either to find the encryption technique, the encryption key, or both. This study addresses chosen plaintext cryptanalysis within public key cryptography, to categorize topics of encrypted text. Using a fixed encryption technique and key, the focus was placed on creating a framework that identifies the topic associated with ciphertext, using diverse plaintexts and their corresponding cipher texts. To our knowledge, this is the first time that chosen-plaintext cryptanalysis has been discussed in the context of topic modeling. The paper used deep learning techniques such as CNNs, GRUs, and LSTMs to process sequential data. The proposed framework achieved up to 67% precision, 99% recall, 80% F1-score, and 71% AUPR on a dataset, showcasing promising results and opening avenues for further research in this cryptanalysis subarea.

A Deep Learning Model for Effective Cyclone Intensity Estimation

“…The utilization of deep learning in cyclone intensity estimation finds its roots in the seminal works referenced as Chen et al 2019. These pioneering studies harnessed Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) (Kumar, Tanwar & Kumar 2024).to analyze satellite imagery, yielding notable enhancements in accuracy when compared to conventional methodologies. Such advancements underscored the potential of deep learning in revolutionizing cyclone intensity estimation practices.…”
