Abstract

Biological cells can transmit, process and receive chemically encoded data in the same way as network devices transmit, process, and receive digitally encoded data. Communication protocols have led to the rapid development of computer networks. Therefore, we need to develop communication protocols for biological cell networks, which will lead to significant development, especially in medical applications where surgery or delivery of drugs can be performed using nanoscale devices. Blockchain is a peer-to-peer network that contains a series of clusters to make a valid and secure transaction. Blockhain technology is used in many areas such as e-commerce, public services, security, finance, Internet stuff, etc. Although blockchain has a major impact on Internet technology, it suffers from time problems and scalability. DNA computing is the execution of computations using natural molecules, especially DNA. DNA gaps above silicon because of massive parallelism, size and storage density. In this paper, biological cells and DNA are used to create the necessary protocols for the networks to be used in the performance of the cell-based communication system. The proposed hybrid solution involves DNA as well as calculated on an enzymatic basis, where each contributes to the function of a given protocol. Also a correspondence between blockchain and DNA is proposed that can be utilized to create DNA based blockchain.
