DNA steganography is a technique for securely transmitting important data using DNA sequences. It involves encrypting and hiding messages within DNA sequences to prevent unauthorized access and decoding of sensitive information. Biometric systems, such as fingerprinting and iris scanning, are used for individual recognition. Since biometric information cannot be changed if compromised, it is essential to ensure its security. This research aims to develop a secure technique that combines steganography and cryptography to protect fingerprint images during communication while maintaining confidentiality. The technique converts fingerprint images into binary data, encrypts them, and embeds them into the DNA sequence. It utilizes the Feistel network encryption process, along with a mathematical function and an insertion technique for hiding the data. The proposed method offers a low probability of being cracked, a high number of hiding positions, and efficient execution times. Four randomly chosen keys are used for hiding and decoding, providing a large key space and enhanced key sensitivity. The technique undergoes evaluation using the NIST statistical test suite and is compared with other research papers. It demonstrates resilience against various attacks, including known-plaintext and chosen-plaintext attacks. To enhance security, random ambiguous bits are introduced at random locations in the fingerprint image, increasing noise. However, it is important to note that this technique is limited to hiding small images within DNA sequences and cannot handle video, audio, or large images.

“…DNA's strong computational parallelism and excellent storage density are two more features that might significantly improve encryption efficiency. I. Moussa & E. I. Abd El-Latif, 2019 [21] In a paper titled "Information Hiding Using Artificial DNA Sequences Based on the Gaussian Kernel Function," the researchers developed a two-round encryption system. The most recent encryption method, known as the Data Encryption Standard algorithm, is identical to this system (DES).…”

Information security is a significant cause for concern, mainly because of the explosive growth in internet usage over the last few years. Due to this growth, there have been occurrences of unauthorized access, which have been reduced thanks to “using a range of secure communication protocols, such as encryption and data concealment”. Using DNA's bio-molecular capabilities, the usage of DNA as a carrier for encryption and data concealing has increased in recent years. The realization that DNA may function as a transport medium sparked this movement. In this study, we first examine and briefly outline the evolution of the present DNA coding system. After that, the several ways DNA has been used to enhance encryption techniques are categorized. The benefits and drawbacks of these algorithms and the most recent advancements in DNA-based encryption techniques are discussed. Finally, we provide our thoughts on the potential future of DNA-based encryption algorithms.

DNA steganography is a technique that utilizes the DNA sequence as the basis for the secure transmission of critical data. This technique consists mainly of encrypting and hiding messages within the high capacity of DNA sequences in order to prevent adversaries from reading and decoding secret messages. However, the biometric system is a technological recognition system that processes information about an individual to distinguish them. Biometrics are used in many applications, including fingerprinting, iris scanning, and face recognition. This research will focus on the development of an effective and secure technique that combines steganography and cryptography. This method aims to protect the image of fingerprints in the communication channel while keeping the information confidential. The hiding process of the proposed system converts fingerprint images into a binary series, which is then added to the DNA sequence after applying the appropriate encryption method. The proposed technique utilizes the Feistel network in the encryption process and uses an insertion technique in the hiding process. It has a low cracking probability, high BPN numbers, and good execution times. During the hiding and decoding processes, the proposed system utilizes four different keys, which are chosen randomly, resulting in a high key space and ahigh key sensitivity. The proposed technique increases the noise by adding some random ambiguity bits at random positions in the fingerprint image. The experimental results show that the proposed system is resistant to several attacks, such as known-plaintext attacks and chosen-plaintext attacks. The proposed technique is limited to hiding only a small image inside the DNA and does not handle video, audio, or a large image size.
