Abstract

Cryptography is an art that has been practised through the centuries. Interest in the applications of the knapsack problem to cryptography has arisen with the advent of public key cryptography. The knapsack problem is well documented problem and all research into its properties have lead to the conjecture that it is difficult to solve. In this paper the canonical duality theory is presented for solving general knapsack problem. By using the canonical dual transformation, the integer programming problem can be converted into a continuous canonical dual problem with zero duality gap. The optimality criterion are also discussed. Numerical examples show the efficiency of the method.
