Review on the Advancements of DNA Cryptography

Abstract

Since security is one of the most important issues, the evolve of cryptography and cryptographic analysis are considered as the fields of on-going research. The latest development on this field is DNA cryptography. It has emerged after the disclosure of computational ability of Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid (DNA). DNA cryptography uses DNA as the computational tool along with several molecular techniques to manipulate it. Due to very high storage capacity of DNA, this field is becoming very promising. Currently it is in the development phase and it requires a lot of work and research to reach a mature stage. By reviewing all the potential and cutting edge technology of current research, this paper shows the directions that need to be addressed further in the field of DNA cryptography.
