Double Layer Security by DNA Based Cryptography and RSA Algorithm

Abstract

DNA based cryptography is a upcoming branch in cryptographic research and has a wide perspective. In this study, biological concept can be taken into consideration. Two bits can be used to represent each nucleotides. The main purpose behind this work is to discover new fields of encoding the data in addition to the conventional used encryption algorithm in order to increase the concept of confusion and therefore increase security. The fundamental idea behind this encryption technique is to enforce other conventional cryptographic algorithms which proved to be broken, and also to open the door for applying the DNA and Amino Acids concepts to more conventional cryptographic algorithms to enhance double layer security features. In my work, applied the conversion of character form or binary form of data to the DNA form and then to amino acid form. Then the resulting form goes through the RSA encryption algorithm.
