Message Encryption Using DNA Sequences

Data hiding is the skill of hiding messages in such a way that only the sender and the receiver of the message know that the message has been hidden. In the contexts of secured information transmission and reception, efficient techniques for data encryption and decryption are very much essential. Though many algorithms have been developed for hiding the data, DNA sequences based data encryption seems to be a promising strategy for fulfilling the current information security needs. In this paper, an algorithm using DNA sequences for data hiding is proposed and discussed for secure data transmission and reception.
