Agenda
Future applications of cryptography
Encryption and the law
2
Future applications of cryptography
Quantum Cryptography, also known as quantum key distribution (QKD), which was discussed in the previous chapter
DNA Cryptography
3
DNA cryptography
DNA cryptography can be defined as a hiding data in terms of DNA Sequence.
A new technique for securing data was introduced using the biological structure of DNA called DNA Computing (aka molecular computing or biological computing).
4
DNA cryptography
It was invented by Leonard Max Adleman in 1994 for solving the complex problems such as the directed Hamilton path problem.
Note: Adelman is the A of the RSA cryptographic algorithm that is used to send data over the Internet.
The concept of using DNA computing in the fields of cryptography and steganography has been identified as a possible technology that may bring forward a new hope for unbreakable algorithms.
5
Advantages of DNA computing
Speed: 100 times faster than the fastest computers
Minimal storage requirements
Minimal power requirements
6
Approaches
Encode bits of data into the nucleotides of DNA
Hide the data in plain site in the DNA (Steganography).
7
Encryption and the law
In Lesson 14, we discussed much of the history of law and cryptography.

Laws
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPIAA): provides data privacy and security provisions for safeguarding medical information
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS): information security standard for organizations that handle branded credit cards
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA): provides data privacy and security provisions for safeguarding student information
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA): control the ways that financial institutions deal with the private information of individuals.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX): protects investors from the possibility of fraudulent accounting activities by corporations.
