An Improved Concept of Cryptography Based on DNA Sequencing

Bibhash Roy; Atanu Majumder

Cryptography is the process of hiding the actual information from a message or proving security in message while transmitting through network by encoding the original message into a new form of message. Data security is concerned with the areas of data transmission where data or information is encoded into a human non-understandable format, so that the intruder would not be able to get the actual meaning of the message. One of the promising direction of achieving data security is the DNA based Cryptography. This paper is concerned with the way how DNA sequencing can be used in cryptographic works and how to make the messages more secure and effective for transmitting over networks. In this paper we have proposed a new method of encryption which has two levels of encryption. Moreover it has a new scheme of key generation and key sharing. The encryption scheme is designed by using the technologies of DNA sequencing.
