Abstract
Today, as the amount of information being stored and shared continues to grow rapidly, ensuring the security of that information has become more important than ever.
To ensure information security, a variety of techniques are employed, including traditional cryptographic methods such as substitution and transposition techniques, hashing functions, and encryption algorithms like DES, RSA, AES, IDEA, and ECC. DNA cryptography is also new emerging technique for providing security to data and information.
The DNA cryptography uses Bio-molecular computational abilities of De-oxy-ribo-Nucleic Acid. There are large amount of DNA researches have been performed to secure data and information form attack. This paper highlights a comparison of different existing cryptographic techniques through a comprehensive review.
Keywords: DNA structure, DNA cryptography, DNA techniques, comparison, utilization.
