Key Generation for DNA Cryptography Using Genetic Operators and Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange Algorithm.

Information security is one of the significant research challenges in the IT world. Most of the time, information is transmitted through a network that is not in a secured format. In this paper, the proposed work is to improve the critical strength of the DNA algorithm. The key strength is improved with the combination of the genetic algorithm and the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm. The Shannon entropy measures the data compression while the critical entropy measures the key strength. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
