HyDEn: A Hybrid Steganocryptographic Approach for Data Encryption Using Randomized Error-Correcting DNA Codes.

This paper presents a novel hybrid DNA encryption (HyDEn) approach that uses randomized assignments of unique errorcorrecting DNA Hamming code words for single characters in the extended ASCII set. HyDEn relies on custom-built quaternary codes and a private key used in the randomized assignment of c...

Sumario:This paper presents a novel hybrid DNA encryption (HyDEn) approach that uses randomized assignments of unique errorcorrecting DNA Hamming code words for single characters in the extended ASCII set. HyDEn relies on custom-built quaternary codes and a private key used in the randomized assignment of code words and the cyclic permutations applied on the encoded message. Along with its ability to detect and correct errors, HyDEn equals or outperforms existing cryptographic methods and represents a promising in silico DNA steganographic approach.
