Optimizing S-box generation based on the Adaptive Agent Heroes and Cowards Algorithm

作者：

Highlights：

• Adaptive assignment of cowards and heroes via exponential functions controller.

• Intensified swap operator around best candidate solutions.

• Tent map as the pseudo random generator for agents’ initialization.

• Excels in nonlinearity and strict avalanche S-Box criteria.
