Secure Data Transmission Techniques Based on DNA Cryptography

DNA cryptography is a new promising direction in cryptography research that emerged with the evolution in DNA computing field. DNA can be used not only to store and transmit the information, but also to perform computation. The extensive parallelism and extraordinary information density inbuilt in this molecule are exploited for cryptographic purposes. The difficulties that are identified in DNA cryptography are the absence of theoretical basis and practical methodologies which can readily be implemented in the field of security. As DNA cryptography is in the development phase and requires a lot of work and research to reach a mature stage. DNA as a means of cryptography has high technical laboratory requirements and computational limitations. The potentiality of DNA on computing can open up further computation methods and challenges.
