Abstract
Security has always been the main concern in data communication and networking. Mobile Networks are highly vulnerable to security attacks and pose a great challenge for the wireless networks being used today. Since the mode of communication is open, these networks do not carry any inherent security and hence are prone to attacks. The present day algorithms have shown limitations to meet the security requirements of transmission. DNA cryptography is a new and promising direction in the field of cryptography. This paper proposes DNA-based Cryptography as an approach to ensure highly secure environment for transmission of data across mobile networks.
