✦ Synopsis

In this contribution we apply the particle swarm optimization method, which originates from the field of evolutionary computation, to address an interesting problem introduced by the cryptanalysis of block-cipher cryptosystems. The results on the data encryption standard reduced to four rounds indicate that this is a promising approach.
