AbstractThe importance of data and its transmission rate are increasing as the world is moving towards online services every day. Thus, providing data security is becoming of utmost importance. This paper proposes a secure data encryption and hiding method based on DNA cryptography and steganography. Our approach uses DNA for encryption and data hiding processes due to its high capacity and simplicity in securing various kinds of data. Our proposed method has two phases. In the first phase, it encrypts the data using DNA bases along with Huffman coding. In the second phase, it hides the encrypted data into a DNA sequence using a substitution algorithm. Our proposed method is blind and preserves biological functionality. The result shows a decent cracking probability with comparatively better capacity. Our proposed method has eliminated most limitations identified in the related works. Our proposed hybrid technique can provide a double layer of security to sensitive data.
