Private key and password protection by steganographic image encryption
Debesh Choudhury, Sujoy Chakraborty
We propose a technique to protect and preserve a private key or a passcode in an encrypted two-dimensional graphical image. The plaintext private key or the passcode is converted i…
Optimizing Genetic Algorithms Using the Binomial Distribution
Vincent A. Cicirello
Evolutionary algorithms rely very heavily on randomized behavior. Execution speed, therefore, depends strongly on how we implement randomness, such as our choice of pseudorandom nu…
Open Source Evolutionary Computation with Chips-n-Salsa
Vincent A. Cicirello
When it was first introduced, the Chips-n-Salsa Java library provided stochastic local search and related algorithms, with a focus on self-adaptation and parallel execution. For th…
Algorithms for Generating Small Random Samples
Vincent A. Cicirello
We present algorithms for generating small random samples without replacement. We consider two cases. We present an algorithm for sampling a pair of distinct integers, and an algor…
A Survey and Analysis of Evolutionary Operators for Permutations
Vincent A. Cicirello
There are many combinatorial optimization problems whose solutions are best represented by permutations. The classic traveling salesperson seeks an optimal ordering over a set of c…
Community Report from the Biosignatures Standards of Evidence Workshop
Victoria Meadows, Heather Graham, Victor Abrahamsson +72
The search for life beyond the Earth is the overarching goal of the NASA Astrobiology Program, and it underpins the science of missions that explore the environments of Solar Syste…
