A Novel Approach for Data Security Using DNA Cryptography with Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm in Cloud Computing

Abstract

This chapter discusses the unique concept of DNA cryptography, whose results are virtually unbreakable, and additionally manage a part of storage issues. Cryptography is one of the prominent solutions for cloud data security. Cloud computing is acknowledged as a new prototype that grants on-demand services such as servers, and applications, using a real-time communication network at a minimal cost. It permits vendors to provide reliable and customized information technology services on a flexible basis using internet via service providers. The main objective is to implement an optimized technique to secure data using DNA cryptography with the Artificial Bee optimization algorithm. DNA cryptography transforms data into four nucleotides bases: A, G, C, T. Modern DNA cryptography has adopted DNA cryptography as a new mechanism for encryption process. The alphanumerical values are encoded and transformed into DNA nucleotides bases. DNA cryptography increases the complexity, where as ABC provides the optimized solution and helps in generating the key to increase the algorithm speed.
