Cryptographic keys management system based on DNA strands

Abstract

Security of cryptographic keys is one of the most important issues in a key management process. The question arises whether modern technology really allows for a high level of physical protection and security of sensitive data and cryptographic keys. The article considers various contemporary types of threats associated with the storage of secret keys. We present an iimovative way to store sensitive data, using DNA strands as a medium, which significantly reduces hazard connected with electronic devices based data storage and makes the key management process independent of third parties.
