Information
security has now emerged as an essential foundation that the modern world
cannot afford to abandon or disrespect in any way. Data confidentiality is
still a preoccupation and a constant concern in the world of the electronic
industry. Encryption has always been and continues to be the go-to solution for
achieving data security. Despite its effectiveness in maintaining security,
encryption in its visible version remains an appealing option for potential
attackers. As a result, multiple studies and substantial research have focused
on steganography, which has an advantage over encryption in that it may conceal
information without leaving an identifiable format. This trait reduces the zeal
and difficulties that potential attackers confront when attempting to penetrate
security mechanisms.
Life is made up of genetic material called DNA, which is
present in humans and the majority of other species. The DNA code is made up of
the amino acids adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Humans
share around 98% of these DNA bases, highlighting the commonalities across
people. The order of these bases determines the information that is available
for an organism's growth and preservation, much like the letters in words and
sentences. This paper introduces a unique masking method that takes advantage
of the intrinsic characteristics of DNA structure.. It includes converting data
into a DNA format and then using precise computations to integrate it into
pre-existing DNA blocks. It has been established via careful investigation and
analysis that this approach is appropriate for obtaining information security
using unconventional formulae.
