A Pseudo DNA Cryptography Method
The DNA cryptography is a new and very promising direction in cryptography
research. DNA can be used in cryptography for storing and transmitting the
information, as well as for computation. Although in its primitive stage, DNA
cryptography is shown to be very effective. Currently, several DNA computing
algorithms are proposed for quite some cryptography, cryptanalysis and
steganography problems, and they are very powerful in these areas. However, the
use of the DNA as a means of cryptography has high tech lab requirements and
computational limitations, as well as the labor intensive extrapolation means
so far. These make the efficient use of DNA cryptography difficult in the
security world now. Therefore, more theoretical analysis should be performed
before its real applications.
In this project, We do not intended to utilize real DNA to perform the
cryptography process; rather, We will introduce a new cryptography method based
on central dogma of molecular biology. Since this method simulates some
critical processes in central dogma, it is a pseudo DNA cryptography method.
The theoretical analysis and experiments show this method to be efficient in
computation, storage and transmission; and it is very powerful against certain
attacks. Thus, this method can be of many uses in cryptography, such as an
enhancement insecurity and speed to the other cryptography methods. There are
also extensions and variations to this method, which have enhanced security,
effectiveness and applicability.Comment: A small work that quite some people asked abou
Review on DNA Cryptography
Cryptography is the science that secures data and communication over the
network by applying mathematics and logic to design strong encryption methods.
In the modern era of e-business and e-commerce the protection of
confidentiality, integrity and availability (CIA triad) of stored information
as well as of transmitted data is very crucial. DNA molecules, having the
capacity to store, process and transmit information, inspires the idea of DNA
cryptography. This combination of the chemical characteristics of biological
DNA sequences and classical cryptography ensures the non-vulnerable
transmission of data. In this paper we have reviewed the present state of art
of DNA cryptography.Comment: 31 pages, 12 figures, 6 table
Systematizing Genome Privacy Research: A Privacy-Enhancing Technologies Perspective
Rapid advances in human genomics are enabling researchers to gain a better
understanding of the role of the genome in our health and well-being,
stimulating hope for more effective and cost efficient healthcare. However,
this also prompts a number of security and privacy concerns stemming from the
distinctive characteristics of genomic data. To address them, a new research
community has emerged and produced a large number of publications and
initiatives.
In this paper, we rely on a structured methodology to contextualize and
provide a critical analysis of the current knowledge on privacy-enhancing
technologies used for testing, storing, and sharing genomic data, using a
representative sample of the work published in the past decade. We identify and
discuss limitations, technical challenges, and issues faced by the community,
focusing in particular on those that are inherently tied to the nature of the
problem and are harder for the community alone to address. Finally, we report
on the importance and difficulty of the identified challenges based on an
online survey of genome data privacy expertsComment: To appear in the Proceedings on Privacy Enhancing Technologies
