Abstract: When it comes to providing security to information systems, encryption emerges as an indispensable tool, as it has been used extensively in the past few decades for securing stationary data as well as data in motion. With the rapid data transmission techniques and multimedia options available for data representation, the field of information security has become very significant. The state-of-art cryptographic technique is DNA encryption, which uses biological principles for safeguarding data. The use of Bio-inspired ciphers is becoming the de-facto safety standard, especially for digital images as they are a key source of extracting crucial information. Hence, image encoding becomes of ultimate importance when there is a need to send them via an insecure communication channel. The purpose of this research paper is to present a DNA- inspired cryptosystem that can be employed in the domain of image encryption that provides superior security with enhanced efficiency. The experimental outcomes prove that this novel cryptographic algorithm not only provides better security but also at a reasonable pace.

Keywords: DNA cryptography; cipher; information security; encryption; decryption
