Since the beginning of the twentieth century, data security has become a very important subject for safe communication and correspondence. Starting from military and diplomatic level security, encryption has reached several areas and applications requiring data transmission, among which: banking, industry, e-commerce, video broadcasting, computer networks and personal computers, telecommunications and so forth. In all activities data has taken a very central role. With that, rises the need of having it protected in the most secure manner, to ensure it is used only by rightful users with rightful intents. However as technology evolves, security threats also increase and become more sophisticated. Therefore, traditional cryptography schemes taken alone are less suitable to ensure high levels of security. There is need to use evolutionary computing method that can mitigate the vulnerability of data. Genetic algorithms (GA) are among such modern techniques that derive from artificial intelligence and can be used to solve difficult problems. This paper is a survey report on various genetic-algorithm-based cryptography schemes proposed throughout studies for efficient encryption of sensitive data.
