Genetic Algorithms As a Random Passwords Generator

Abstract

Genetic algorithms has become a suitable searching or optimization tool for solving many complex problems comparing with the traditional search techniques, Genetic algorithms contains many manipulations to speed up and improve the genetic algorithms performance; these manipulations are selection, crossover and mutation. In this work, the genetic algorithms are used as a random password generator, where the basic process of genetic algorithms and three statistical tests are used to ensure the outcome sequences of passwords are acceptable.The genetic algorithms proved highly successful in generating a random password with good statistical properties and a high linear complexity.
