  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 472))

Abstract

A scheme utilizing DNA technology for the purposes of DNA cryptography has been developed. To enhance the security of DNA cryptosystem, we used DNA digital encoding, complementary rules and biotechnological methods in this scheme. The experimental result showed that the scheme is feasible and the security analysis indicated that the scheme has a strong confidentiality.
