genetic_algorithm_decryptor

Description

This is a Java-based application that uses genetic algorithms to solve decryption problems. It allows users to decrypt encrypted texts by finding optimal decryption keys.

Setup

Prerequisites

• Java JDK 11 or higher
• Maven (for dependency management and build)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Kelvin229/genetic_algorithm_decryptor.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd genetic_algorithm_decryptor

3. Compile the project (Optional, IDE like intelliJ IDEA can handle this):

   javac Main.java

Usage

1. Run the application:

   java Main

2. Follow the on-screen instructions to decrypt the encrypted text.

The application will process the input parameters, attempt to decrypt the provided encrypted text, and then output the results to the console and a CSV file for further analysis.
