“…In [9], high-level network architectures involving communication via molecular motors, diffusion based calcium signaling, and pheromones have been introduced and discussed. A bio-hybrid architecture involving bacteria and nanomotors have been introduced in [28]. The common thread in these proposals is the simplicity in interaction and specificity of tasks to be performed, which parallels design principles of our vision for nanonetworks.…”

“…Among these options, molecular diffusion techniques [26], [27] and nano-mechanical interactions [28] have been envisioned as means of long and short/medium range communication for nanonetworks, respectively. Long considered as infeasible due to projected size and complexity resulting from miniaturization-based transceiver design [25], RF-based communication has captured the limelight of nanocommunication research through the development of nano-scale receivers [16] and transmitters [17].…”

“…Studying the second category of molecular communication we see similar biological signaling mechanisms [7], [8], but also more exotic forms like nano motors and even flagellated bacteria [9]. In all cases, information is encoded in form of complex bio molecules such as proteins that intrinsicly support an extremely high information density.…”

Abstract-Nano communication is one of the fastest growing emerging research fields. In recent years, much progress has been achieved in developing nano machines supporting our needs in health care and other scenarios. However, experts agree that only the interaction among nano machines allows to address the very complex requirements in the field. Drug delivery and environmental control are only two of the many interesting application domains, which, at the same time, pose many new challenging problems. Very relevant communication concepts have been investigated such as RF radio communication in the terra hertz band or molecular communication based on transmitter molecules. Yet, one question has not been considered so far and that is nano communication security, i.e., will it be possible to protect such systems from manipulation by malicious parties? Our objective is to provide some first insights into the security challenges and to highlight some of the open research challenges in this field. The main observation is that especially for molecular communication existing security and cryptographic solutions might not be applicable. In this context, we coin the term biochemical cryptography that might lead to significant improvements in the field of molecular communication. We also point to relevant problems that have similarities with typical network architectures but also completely new challenges.

“…and, specifically, in their type, number, concentration or release time. In turn, molecular communications can be classified depending on the distance between sender and receiver [4] or, according to the transport mechanism used by the molecules. In the latter case we distinguish between active and passive transport techniques.…”

Molecular communications are a powerful tool to implement communication functionalities in environments where the use of electromagnetic waves becomes critical, e.g. in the human body. Molecules such as proteins, DNA, RNA sequences are used to carry information. To this aim a novel approach relies on the use of genetically modified bacteria to transport enhanced DNA strands, called plasmids, where information can be encoded and then transferred among bacterial cell using the so called conjugation process. Information transfer is thus based on bacteria motility, i.e. self-propelled motion which under appropriate circumstances is exhibited by certain bacteria, which is still not completely understood. In this paper we propose an analytical model to characterize information spreading in bacterial nanonetworks by employing an epidemic approach similar to the one used to model Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) and we show that such modeling can be profitably used to represent information spreading in conjugation-based bacterial nanonetworks KeywordsInformation spreading, bacterial nano networks.
