A New DNA Cryptography Based Algorithm Involving the Fusion of Symmetric-Key Techniques

摘要

Today, with the increase in technology and computational power everything is getting digitalized. More and more private data is being loaded into our computers. These data are sent to various websites for suitable applications. Now, the problem arises while transferring these data. Sending these data through insecure channels like the Internet without using proper encryption methods can lead to data loss or data hacking. In order to protect this data, various encryption methods are being implemented. One such encryption methodology used in this arena is DNA cryptography. This paper gives a brief overview of DNA cryptology along with a new algorithm based on the fusion of symmetric-key cryptography, DNA nucleotides, and XOR operation is proposed. This algorithm is very much efficient and one main striking feature of the algorithm is the security which can be set as per sender requirements.
