    Public channel cryptography by synchronization of neural networks and chaotic maps

    Full text link
    Two different kinds of synchronization have been applied to cryptography: Synchronization of chaotic maps by one common external signal and synchronization of neural networks by mutual learning. By combining these two mechanisms, where the external signal to the chaotic maps is synchronized by the nets, we construct a hybrid network which allows a secure generation of secret encryption keys over a public channel. The security with respect to attacks, recently proposed by Shamir et al, is increased by chaotic synchronization.Comment: 4 page

    Cryptocurrency with a Conscience: Using Artificial Intelligence to Develop Money that Advances Human Ethical Values

    Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are offering new avenues for economic empowerment to individuals around the world. However, they also provide a powerful tool that facilitates criminal activities such as human trafficking and illegal weapons sales that cause great harm to individuals and communities. Cryptocurrency advocates have argued that the ethical dimensions of cryptocurrency are not qualitatively new, insofar as money has always been understood as a passive instrument that lacks ethical values and can be used for good or ill purposes. In this paper, we challenge such a presumption that money must be ‘value-neutral.’ Building on advances in artificial intelligence, cryptography, and machine ethics, we argue that it is possible to design artificially intelligent cryptocurrencies that are not ethically neutral but which autonomously regulate their own use in a way that reflects the ethical values of particular human beings – or even entire human societies. We propose a technological framework for such cryptocurrencies and then analyse the legal, ethical, and economic implications of their use. Finally, we suggest that the development of cryptocurrencies possessing ethical as well as monetary value can provide human beings with a new economic means of positively influencing the ethos and values of their societies

    Neural Network Contribute to Reverse Cryptographic Processes in Bitcoin Systems: attention on SHA256

    Bitcoin is a digital currency created in January 2009 following the housing market crash that promises lower transaction fees than traditional online payment mechanisms. Though each bitcoin transaction is recorded in a public log, the names of buyers and sellers are never revealed. While that keeps bitcoin users' transactions private, it also lets them buy or sell anything without easily tracing it back to them. Bitcoin is based on cryptographic evidence, which therefore does not suffer from the weakness present in a model based on trust in guarantee authorities. The use of cryptography is of crucial importance in the Bitcoin system. In addition to maintaining data secrecy, in the case of Bitcoin, cryptography is used to make it impossible for anyone to spend money from another user's wallet. In our paper, we develop the idea that it is possible to reverse the cryptography process based on hash functions (one-way) through Machine Translation with neural networks. Assuming this hypothesis is true and considering some quantistic algorithms to decrypt certain types of hash functions, we will highlight their effects on the Bitcoin system
