Abstract: In this paper, we study the probability of successful deception of an uncompressed biometric authentication system with side information at the adversary. It represents the scenario where the adversary may have correlated side information, e.g., a partial finger print or a DNA sequence of a relative of the legitimate user. We find the optimal exponent of the deception probability by proving both the achievability and the converse. Our proofs are based on the connection between the problem of deception with side information and the rate distortion problem with side information at both the encoder and decoder.

Abstract: Biology is a life science which has high significance on the quality of life and information security is that aspect for social edification, which human beings will never compromise. Both are subjects of high relevance and inevitable for mankind. So, an amalgamation of these subjects definitely turns up as utility technology, either for security or data storage and is known as Bio computing. The secure transfer of information was a major concern from ancient civilizations. Various techniques have been proposed to maintain security of data so that only intended recipient should be able to receive the message other than the sender. These practices became more significant with the introduction of the Internet. Information varies from big data to a particular word, but every piece of information requires proper storage and protection which is a major concern. Cryptography is an art or science of secrecy which protects information from unauthorized access. Various techniques evolved through years for information protection, including Ciphers, Cryptography, Steganography, Biometrics and recent DNA for security. DNA cryptography was a major breakthrough in the field of security which uses Bio-molecular concepts and gives us a new hope of unbreakable algorithms. This paper discusses various DNA based Cryptographic methods proposed till now. It also proposes a DNA symmetric algorithm based on the Pseudo DNA Cryptography and Central dogma of molecular biology. The suggested algorithm uses splicing and padding techniques along with complementary rules which make the algorithm more secure as it is an additional layer of security than conventional cryptographic techniques.

Abstract: DNA cryptography is an upcoming field in the cryptography area. We introduce a hybrid cryptography method based on RGB colors, where the security of data is improved by using a data encryption algorithm and that of key is enhanced by means of an algorithm based on DNA steganography. Information can be encoded by using any schemes like ASCII or UNICODE. Plain text is converted to matrix form which is then passed through a number of manipulation steps. Security is further enhanced by using a strong key which is encapsulated by using DNA steganography method. As the next layer of security we propose encryption using DNA bases and amino acids. For this, some DNA techniques like coding are used. The fundamental idea is to provide a multiphase cryptosystem by combining DNA and Amino Acids concepts to other security techniques. Finally, the cipher form is converted to colors to improve the level of security.

Abstract: Secure data communication is the most important and essential issue in the area of message transmission over the networks. Cryptography provides the way of making secure message for confidential message transfer. Cryptography is the process of transforming the sender's message to a secret format called cipher text that only intended receiver will get understand the meaning of the secret message. There are various cryptographic or DNA based encoding algorithms have been proposed in order to make secret message for communication. But all these proposed DNA based encryption algorithms are not secure enough to provide better security as compared with the today's security requirement. In this paper, we have proposed a technique of encryption that will enhance the message security. In this proposed algorithm, a new method of DNA based encryption with a strong key of 256 bit is used. Along with this big size key various other encoding tools are used as key in the encoding process of the message like random series of DNA bases, modified DNA bases coding. Moreover a new method of round key selection is also given in this paper to provide better security in the message. The cipher text contains the extra bit of information as similar with the DNA strands that will provide better and enhanced security against intruder's attack.

Abstract: In the present era, with the increase in technological development, threat for data security grows exponentially. With the current technological growth, it is very difficult to secure the data using the traditional cryptographic and Steganographic approach. DNA cryptography is a new field in the area of information security. It is a combination of both biological and computer domain. It provides security by using the properties of DNA and other arithmetic operations. In this paper, the authors present a new method for providing security of the data using DNA sequence as a key and complementary rule pairs. This method can encrypt any data whether it is image, audio, video or text file. The proposed method depends upon the complexity of key and the complementary rules. The proposed method improve the level of security as in this actual data is never transmitted.

Abstract: DNA steganography is one of the emerging technologies in the field of covert data transmission. In this paper we are proposing a novel DNA based steganography which uses images as primary cover media. A theoretical single stranded DNA (ssDNA) or oligonucleotide is extracted from the image which is used as the secondary cover providing a huge amount of background noise for the secret data. This is why we call it a dual cover steganography. The pixel sequence contributing the ssDNA codon series construction is determined by a two dimensional chaotic map. Performance of the algorithm is tested against several visual and statistical attacks and parameterized in terms of both security and capacity.

Abstract: Secret communications have been made traditionally using ciphers which more or less depend upon the ability of computers to sustain attacks over them. Thus we can conclude- The security is limited in terms of computation power, if the attackers increase this computation power, which will be happening in near time, the level of security will decrease to a large extent. To avoid such kind of scenario scientists are proposing to use either completely different modes of cryptography which are not dependent much on computation power of computers or to use a hybrid approach which is derived from computer based approaches and use some elements which are independent of computer based approaches, to hide or to encrypt data. In our proposed scheme, we are using a hybrid approach which will divide data into two parts: one part is encrypted using AES-128, a traditionally strong cipher, while the other data part is hided inside synthetically manufactured DNA strand.

Abstract: The Hill cipher algorithm is one of the symmetric key algorithms that have many variations but still not suited for all zeroes plaintext block. Chosen-plaintext attack can be possible on Toorani and Falahati Hill Cipher Algorithm by two closely related variants of Hill Cipher. In this paper we have presented a new approach of Hill Cipher (RDHill Cipher) using DNA cryptography and TFHill Cipher to overcome the drawbacks of TFHill. We implement this algorithm for image encryption in which firstly the image will be converted into binary value and the nibble of binary value will be rotated, then it will be converted into DNA, and then DNA to Amino Acids. Secondly TFHill Cipher can be applied on Amino Acids. The output is measured for the security level based on Correlation, histogram and entropy. The experimental results showed that the combination technique resulted in a higher entropy value and lower correlation, and a more uniform histogram, compared to the Hill Cipher, affine Hill, TFHill and SVK Hill Cipher. This implies the good quality of the retrieved image compared to the original one.

Abstract: Cloud computing provides people the way to share private resources and services. Since data are share between distributed resources via the network in the open environment there is always security threat. Due lack of proper security control policy and weakness in saving private data that lead to many vulnerability in cloud computing. Cloud computing is buzzword because of its performance, high availability, low cost, scalability and many others. The concept of cloud computing is to reduce the processing burden on the client by improving the ability of cloud to handle them, by using client as a simple input and output device, and bask of computations on the cloud. Existing solutions are based on hardware and pure cryptographic techniques to solve these security and access control problems suffer from heavy computational overhead. In this paper, we proposed a protocol that uses hybrid cloud architecture with highly secure DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) Matching. Currently there is a tremendous requirement for secure DNA Matching as researchers are working on storing large DNA string that requires large space that is not cost effective. In this proposed system Private Cloud (Eucalyptus) and Public Cloud (Amazon) communicate with each other for DNA Matching using Garbled Circuits. We aimed for a system to be efficient in terms of cost, communication, memory and matching result with other existing DNA Matching systems.
