Abstract
In this chapter, a Particle Swarm Optimization-Based Session Key Generation for wireless communication (PSOSKG) is proposed. This cryptographic technique is solely based on the behavior of the particle swarm. Here, particle and velocity vector are formed for generation of keystream by setting up the maximum dimension of each particle and velocity vector. Each particle position and probability value is evaluated. Probability value of each particle can be determined by dividing the position of a particular particle by its length. If probability value of a particle is less than minimum probability value then a velocity is applied to move each particle into a new position. After that, the probability value of the particle at the new position is calculated. A threshold value is selected to evaluate against the velocity level of each particle. The particle having the highest velocity more than predefined threshold value is selected as a keystream for encryption.
