Computational Intelligence for Information Security: A Survey

Abstract

Information security is the set of processes that protect information away from unauthorized access, disclosure, replication, modification, or destruction. Recently, more and more real-world systems such as smart cities, wireless sensor networks, biometric systems, and surveillance, require the assurances of information security. Thus, many different techniques based on computational intelligence have been developed for information security in the past decades. However, there are no comprehensive surveys that summarize these techniques. Thus, this paper reviewed computational intelligence approaches published in journals and conferences for information security in the last decade. This paper is a brief, but a comprehensive survey to review numerous computational intelligence approaches and applications for information security. A discussion of the existing challenges of computational intelligence approaches and techniques for information security is also presented.
