Abstract

Network Security has always been under constant threat of numerous types of attack. The research idea presented here is to use invisibility of virus as a data carrier and data itself. The basic objective is to propose the design to develop a Virus- the organism based communication system for intelligence information transfer; A secure data communication through V-technology. The taxonomy tree and the anatomical structure of virus is used as an encrypted data packet. The basic simulations are performed on Proteus platform. The most suitable of all is to use virus taxonomy as an encryption tool that is using the existing communication system with the proposed encryption technique. This idea shall extend the application of bio technology and biomedical engineering in communication systems.
