    This document provides an introduction to DNA steganography. It explains that DNA steganography involves hiding a secret message by encoding it into DNA and concealing the DNA sample, such as within a microdot containing billions of DNA strands. Only one strand would contain the encoded message. The document outlines how Carter Bancroft conducted experiments embedding encrypted messages into synthetic DNA, which was then placed within human DNA and applied to a microdot. It also notes some potential applications of DNA steganography and lists references for further information.

    Introduction
    Steganography-Art or Science of information hiding by embedding message within other.

    Motivation for DNA Steganography !!


    As modern encryption keys are broken, the world of information security looks in new directions to protect the data it transmits. Safety of encryption methods disappear as computing power and knowledge increases.

    DNA Helix-Code Of Life..


    Famous double-helix structure discovered by Watson

    and Crick . DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA), is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms.

    Four bases Guanine (G), Cytosine (C), Adenine (A) and Thymine (T) form the genetic alphabet of the DNA

    What is DNA Steganography??


    Carter Bancroft developed DNA based steganography. It comprises of concealing a DNA encoded message within a normal piece of Human DNA followed by further concealment of the DNA sample to a microdot.

    DNA Steganography
    Complex DNA
    (Fragmented Human DNA)

    + Secret message DNA

    DNA Based Steganography

    Apply to microdot
    (contain billions of DNA strand)

    How this method works


    Experiments in DNA Steganography have been conducted by Carter Bancroft and his team to encrypt hidden messages within microdots.

    A piece of DNA spelling out the message to be hidden is synthetically created which contains the secret encrypted message. The encoded piece of DNA is then placed into a normal piece of human DNA This microdot difficult to detect on the plain message medium but only one strand of those billions within the microdot contains the message. The recipient recovered the dot, performed the analysis, and successfully decoded the secret message.

    Conclusion
    Breaking DNA-based steganography represents an intractable biochemical problem, and that this technique is thus highly resistant to either computer or any other attacks.

    DNA Steganography Application


    Authenticate documents (e.g., currency,

    immigration documents). Solid objects (e.g., apparel, industrial parts). liquids (e.g., signatures, perfume, petroleum).
