C++ Implementation of Neural Cryptography for Public Key Exchange and Secure Message Encryption with Rijndael Cipher

Based on

1. Article NeuroCrypto: C++ Implementation of Neural Cryptography for Public Key Exchange and Secure Message Encryption with Rijndael Cipher
2. GitHub repo NeuroCrypto

Idea (from original repo)

This work is the software implementation of the concept of neural cryptography, which is a communication of two tree parity machines for agreement on a common key over a public channel. This key is utilized to encrypt a sensitive message to be transmitted over an insecure channel using Rijndael cipher. This is a new potential source for public key cryptography schemes which are not based on number theoretic functions, and have small time and memory complexities.

Changes

1. Removed .NET Framework dependency
   1. No GUI
   2. Not even a tiny little bit of Managed C++
   3. AES implemented from GPL2.1 library stored in two files Urban82/Aes256
2. Using namespaces
3. Classes separated into distinct files
4. CMake usage

Future plans

1. Consistent naming convention
2. Removal of common.h?

Software used

1. CLion 2018.3.4
2. Apple LLVM version 10.0.0 (clang-1000.10.44.4)
3. CMake 3.13.4
