Table 2

Genetic parameters for the IGRKG method.

Step number	Parameter/operator	Value/type
(1)	Population size ()	Size of the plaintext
(2)	Crossover	Single point crossover
(3)	Mutation	Single bit mutation
(4)	Rate of crossover, that is, % of parents mated	50% if
		60% if
(5)	Rate of mutation, that is, % of parents mutated	25% if
		30% if
(6)	Selection method (a parent & survival EA deterministic selection strategy [4])	Deterministic (see Algorithm 1, Steps to and Steps to )
