DATA HIDING ALGORITHM IN DNA SEQUENCE BASED ON SUBSTITUTION METHOD
Abstract
In recent years, data hiding, including watermarking, is an interested field of researcher for concealing data into a host, such as database, video, image, audio, QR code, DNA sequence… With the strong development of Bioinformatics, the DNA sequece is also considered for data hiding problems. Many studies proposed methods to conceal data in DNA and RNA sequence, but they could not increase the amount of hidden data. In this study, we propose a data hiding algoritm for improving the embedded capacity in the DNA sequence. The algorithm uses a Complementary table with four values corresponding with data bits ‘00’, ‘01’, ‘10’, and ‘11’, so that, we can embed two bits for each nucleotide. Moreover, with four levels of Complementary values, the algorithm shows that the proposed method also improve the security for hidden data.
