Hybrid Bees Algorithm With Simulated Annealing for Cryptanalysis of Simple Substitution Cipher

Abstract

This research is concerned with the development of a hybridization technique for cryptanalysis a simple substitution ciphers. The exploration/exploitation balancing strategy of Simulated Annealing is incorporated into the original Bees Algorithm to improve its search efficiency and reduce its computational cost. Experimental results demonstrate the applicability of algorithm for the cryptanalysis a simple substitution ciphers
