Abstract

The most common and widely used technique in the communication security and computer security fields is cryptography. Cryptography includes converting some data to incomprehensible format so that a non-intended recipient cannot determine its intended meaning. In this project, a binary form of data, such as plaintext message transformed into sequences of DNA nucleotides. The proposed method is a two-step procedure. First it converts the text messages to a DNA format, subsequently the nucleotides are passing through a Playfair Encryption process based on amino acids structure and in the second phase hide these message in a reference DNA sequence using 3:1 hiding rule.
