Abstract
The article considers an algorithm for encrypting / decrypting text messages using multilayer neural networks (MLNN). The algorithm involves three steps: training a neural network based on the training pairs formed from a basic set of characters found in the text; encryption of the message using the weight coefficients of the hidden layers; its decryption using the weight coefficients of the output layer. The conditions necessary for successful encryption / decryption with this algorithm are formed, its limitations are emphasized. The MLNN architecture and training algorithm are described. The results of experimental research done by using the NeuralNet program are given: training the MLNN employing the BP (Sequential), BP (Batch), Rprop, QuickProp methods; an example of encrypting / decrypting a text message.
