How DNA Cryptography can help whistleblowers and refugees

TL;DR

This paper explores how DNA cryptography, combined with hash functions and social networks, can enhance privacy and security for vulnerable groups like refugees and whistleblowers by enabling secure online identity verification and anonymous broadcasting.

Contribution

It introduces novel applications of DNA cryptography for mutual authentication and secure communication, aiding vulnerable populations in privacy-preserving online interactions.

Findings

Proposes a DNA cryptography-based mutual authentication protocol.

Demonstrates secure broadcasting method for whistleblowers.

Supports online identity verification for refugees.

Abstract

The recent progress in DNA sequencing will probably revolutionize the world of electronic. Hence, we went from DNA sequencing that only research centers could realize, to portable, tiny and inexpensive tools. So, it is likely that in a few years these DNA sequencers will be included in our smartphones. The purpose of this paper is to support this revolution, by using the DNA cryptography, hash functions and social networks. The first application will introduce a mutual entity authentication protocol in order to help waifs, refugees, and victims of human trafficking to find their biological parents online. The second application will also use the DNA cryptography and the social networks to protect whistleblowers' actions. For example, this method will allow whistleblowers to securely broadcast on social networks, their information with one grape.
