Design and analysis of DNA encryption and decryption technique based on asymmetric cryptography system

Security of sensitive information at the time of transmission over public channels is one of the critical issues in digital society. The DNA-based cryptography technique is a new paradigm in the cryptography field that is used to protect data during transmission. In this paper we introduce the asymmetric DNA cryptography technique for encrypting and decrypting plain-texts. This technique is based on the concept of data dependency, dynamic encoding and asymmetric cryptosystem (ie RSA algorithm). The asymmetric cryptosystem is used solely to initiate the encryption and decryption processes that are completely conducted using DNA computing. The basic idea is to create a dynamic DNA table based on the plaintext, using multi-level security, data dependency and generating 14 dynamic round keys. The proposed technique is implemented using the JAVA platform and its efficiency is examined in terms of avalanche property. The evaluation process proves that the proposed technique outperforms the RSA algorithm in terms of avalanche property.
