基于核酸的信息安全技术研究现状及发展建议

Information Security Technology Based on Nucleic Acids

由于具有巨大并行计算能力、海量信息存储密度及超低能耗等优势,近年来,核酸分子在分子计算、数据存储以及信息安全等研究领域广受关注。特别作为基于数学难题的、传统的密码理论与技术的有益补充,以核酸为信息载体的数据隐藏、认证、加密等信息安全技术极富发展前景。文章在介绍基于核酸的加密、隐藏及认证技术原理的基础上,详细论述了该领域国内外的最新研究成果,并对我国如何发展基于核酸的信息安全技术的研究提出了建议。

For the past few years, nucleic acid molecules have drawn a lot of attention in such fields as mole- cule computing, data storage, information security, etc., due to their huge potential of parallel computing abili- ty, immense information storage density, and ultra-low energy consumption. Particularly, information security technologies such as data hiding, authentication, and encryption using nucleic acids as information carriers, have a brilliant and promising prospect. They are useful complementary to mathematically problematic and con- ventional cryptography theory. Based on the basic theory introduction of data hiding, authentication, and en- cryption implemented by nucleic acids, latest international and domestic research achievements are elaborated in this paper, and the suggestions on the development of information security technology based on nucleic acids in China are proposed as well
