In this paper the possibility of implementing block cipher based on feedforward artificial neural network is considered. As an encryption key adding to a weighted sum of hidden layer inputs, a vector of real numbers is used. The possibility of statistical attacks is considered and a method of statistical attacks prevention is described.
