Dynamic adversarial neural cryptography for ensuring privacy in smart contracts
Various types of research are being carried out to advance in the field of cryptography and develop a more robust technique for security. Adversarial neural cryptography (ANC) is a recent development in this extension, which possesses huge potential to be implemented in various domains. There is a continuous need for the development of more adaptive techniques to secure data while in communication using deep learning and other applied artificial intelligence techniques, which serves as the motivation for this work stems from the increasing need for adaptive, robust encryption mechanisms to address the limitations of traditional cryptographic techniques in securing sensitive blockchain transactions. This article proposes a new approach for the protection of private smart contracts on blockchain systems via ANC. The proposed method in the research is dynamic adversarial training using three neural networks to secure smart contract transactions. It optimizes the encryption and decryption processes against evolving cyber threats. The algorithm strives to attain a high key agreement rate (KAR) and a lower Eve’s decryption failure rate (EDFR) eventually proving its efficacy in attaining privacy and security in blockchain applications and adaptability. This research will incite more studies on ANC and its practical implementations in ensuring private smart contracts and overcoming the present cryptographical approaches with significant development because of their potential.
