On the Secure Storage and Transmission of Health Care Records Based on DNA Sequences

With the rapidly changing technological realm, modern healthcare management systems need to change to accommodate these new advances. There is an urgent need to provide and protect the confidentiality of health care records when stored in common databases and transmitted over public insecure channel. This paper outlines DNA sequence based cryptography which is easy to implement and is robust against any type of crypt attack as there is insignificant correlation between the original record and the encrypted image.
