 ABSTRACT
In the present era, with the increase in technological development, threat for data security
grows exponentially. With the current technological growth, it is very difficult to secure the data
using the traditional cryptographic and Steganographic approach. DNA cryptography is a new
field in the area of information security. It is a combination of both biological and computer
domain. It provides security by using the properties of DNA and other arithmetic operations.

DNA computing is the back bone of the DNA cryptography. DNA cryptography is
becoming an alternative to the traditional cryptographic approach that exists in our day-today
life. In spite security breaches overwhelm the traditional security techniques that are provided to
a system. Thus, to increase the security feature with less cost and reduced computational time,
we go for techniques utilizing the properties of DNA molecules. The various properties and
methods that adopt DNA cryptography to provide security to the messages transmitted between a
sender and a receiver are explored.

This report having detailed explanation of DNA cryptography and various schemes of
DNA cryptosystem proposed by various researchers are discussed.
