EACirc is a framework for automatic problem solving. It uses supervised learning techniques based on evolutionary algorithms to construct and optimize software circuits in order to solve the given problem.

Problems are solved by the means of hardware-like circuits - small, software-emulated circuits consisting of gates and interconnecting wires transforming input data into desired output data. The layout of these circuits is designed randomly at first. They are subsequently optimized in the process of supervised learning (inputs are provided alongside with correct outputs) until the the desired success rate is achieved.

EACirc is a framework for automatic problem solving. It can be utilized as randomness testing tool similar to statistical bateries (NIST STS, Dieaharder, TestU01), for instance for analysis of cryptografical function outputs.

The learning stage incorporates genetic programming principles:
9-
* a handful of these circuits (circuit 'population') is considered simultaneously;
10-
* each individual circuit is evaluated on the data and its 'fitness' is determined by comparison of its outputs with the expected outputs;
11-
* individuals with low 'fitness' are deleted (survival of the fittest);
12-
* individuals with high 'fitness' are altered ('sexiual crossover' and a small chance of 'mutation');
13-
* the process starts over with this new 'generation' of circuits.

It uses supervised learning techniques based on metaheuristics to construct adapted distinguisher of two input data streams. The distinguisher can be represented as harware-like circuits or algebraic polynomial.

## The Framework
169

17-
The EACirc framework consists of main application and several supporting tools and scripts. The modular design allows for easy addition of new problem modules ('projects') and output interpretation modules ('evaluators'). Currently, the project has following main parts:
18-
* **EACirc** - the main application, constructs circuits using evolutionary principles.
19-
* **OneClick** - an automatic work generator for extensive computations in BOINC infrastructure
20-
* **utils** - set of scripts and small programs used for results processing.
10+
This repository contains EACirc core and code for data stream generaion (mainly eSTREAM and SHA-3 candidates).
11+
Further tools are:
12+
* [Randomness Testing Toolkit (RTT)](https://github.com/crocs-muni/randomness-testing-toolkit),
13+
* [tools for GRID computations](https://github.com/crocs-muni/eacirc-utils)
14+
* [Oneclick](https://github.com/crocs-muni/oneclick) a tool for BOINC computation (deprecated)
