A Systematic Evaluation of Evolving Highly Nonlinear Boolean Functions in Odd Sizes
In the last 30 years, evolutionary algorithms have been shown to be a strong option for evolving Boolean functions in different sizes and with different properties.
A Discrete Particle Swarm Optimizer for the Design of Cryptographic Boolean Functions
A Particle Swarm Optimizer for the search of balanced Boolean functions with good cryptographic properties is proposed in this paper.
Look into the Mirror: Evolving Self-Dual Bent Boolean Functions
This paper provides a detailed experimentation with evolutionary algorithms with the goal of evolving (anti-)self-dual bent Boolean functions.
A New Angle: On Evolving Rotation Symmetric Boolean Functions
Rotation symmetric Boolean functions represent an interesting class of Boolean functions as they are relatively rare compared to general Boolean functions.
Local Search, Semantics, and Genetic Programming: a Global Analysis
In recent years, a new mutation operator, Geometric Semantic Mutation with Local Search (GSM-LS), has been proposed to include a local search step in the mutation process based on the idea that performing a linear regression during the mutation can allow for a faster convergence to good-quality solutions.
Digging Deeper: Operator Analysis for Optimizing Nonlinearity of Boolean Functions
By observing the range of possible changes an operator can provide, as well as relative probabilities of specific transitions in the objective space, one can use this information to design a more effective combination of genetic operators.
NASCTY: Neuroevolution to Attack Side-channel Leakages Yielding Convolutional Neural Networks
Side-channel analysis (SCA) can obtain information related to the secret key by exploiting leakages produced by the device.
On the Evolution of Boomerang Uniformity in Cryptographic S-boxes
One example of such a property is called boomerang uniformity, which helps to be resilient against boomerang attacks.
Evolutionary Strategies for the Design of Binary Linear Codes
The design of binary error-correcting codes is a challenging optimization problem with several applications in telecommunications and storage, which has also been addressed with metaheuristic techniques and evolutionary algorithms.
The Influence of Local Search over Genetic Algorithms with Balanced Representations
We continue the study of Genetic Algorithms (GA) on combinatorial optimization problems where the candidate solutions need to satisfy a balancedness constraint.
The Effect of Multi-Generational Selection in Geometric Semantic Genetic Programming
Among the evolutionary methods, one that is quite prominent is Genetic Programming, and, in recent years, a variant called Geometric Semantic Genetic Programming (GSGP) has shown to be successfully applicable to many real-world problems.
Evolving Constructions for Balanced, Highly Nonlinear Boolean Functions
Finding balanced, highly nonlinear Boolean functions is a difficult problem where it is not known what nonlinearity values are possible to be reached in general.
Modeling Strong Physically Unclonable Functions with Metaheuristics
While there is no reason to doubt the performance of CMA-ES, the lack of comparison with different metaheuristics and results for the challenge-response pair-based attack leaves open questions if there are better-suited metaheuristics for the problem.
Evolutionary Construction of Perfectly Balanced Boolean Functions
Finding Boolean functions suitable for cryptographic primitives is a complex combinatorial optimization problem, since they must satisfy several properties to resist cryptanalytic attacks, and the space is very large, which grows super exponentially with the number of input variables.
Deriving Smaller Orthogonal Arrays from Bigger Ones with Genetic Algorithm
We consider the optimization problem of constructing a binary orthogonal array (OA) starting from a bigger one, by removing a specified amount of lines.

Combinatorial designs provide an interesting source of optimization problems.
Salp Swarm Optimization: a Critical Review
In the crowded environment of bio-inspired population-based metaheuristics, the Salp Swarm Optimization (SSO) algorithm recently appeared and immediately gained a lot of momentum.

Experiments show that improving the exploration of the search space with this adaptive bias strategy is beneficial for the GA performances in terms of the number of optimal solutions found for the balanced nonlinear Boolean functions problem.

In the second experiment, we train a GP convolutional predictor on two degraded images, removing around 20% of their pixels.

Furthermore, in two out of three crossovers, the "left-to-right" version performs better than the "shuffled" version.
