Secure communication using DNA cryptography with secure socket layer (SSL) protocol in wireless sensor networks

Security is one of the most significant and fundamental issue for data transmission in WSNs. DNA cryptography plays a very vital role in the areas of communications and data transmission. In DNA cryptography, biological DNA concept can be used not only to store data and information carrier, but also to perform computations. This paper is based on computation security using DNA cryptography. An algorithm is proposed that uses DNA cryptography with secure socket layer (SSL) for providing a secure channel with more secure exchange of information in wireless sensor networks.
