Abstract: As the use of technology is increasing rapidly, the amount of shared, sent, and received information is also increas-ing in the same way. As a result, this necessitates the need for finding techniques that can save and secure the information over the net. There are many methods that have been used to protect the information such as hiding information and encryption. In this study, we propose a new encryption method making use of amino acid and DNA sequences. In addition, several criteria including data size, key size and the probability of cracking are used to evaluate the proposed method. The results show that the performance of the proposed method is better than many common encryption methods, such as RSA in terms of evaluation criteria.
