Résumé

The internet is a global conduit for information. An enormous amount of data is being transmitted globally over the internet at any moment. Secure transmission of this data is a critical need in the modern world.
To prevent unwanted access by any node along the path, that information must be secured. Users need to ensure the privacy, integrity, and confidentiality of data traveling over insecure communication channels. In this paper, we propose a new approach in symmetric key cryptography which consists of two rounds of processing for delivering information security services (Authentication, Integrity, and Confidentiality). In the first round, a CSPRNG is generated using C# based on a secure seed then is coded using a biological DNA operation to be used as a random key for OTP. In the second round of processing, the XOR arithmetic operation is used as an encryption technique. Our proposed system is more secure compared to the conventional binary coding encryption technique with DNA sequence because the symmetric key goes through three biological process which adds confusion and making it more difficult to decrypt the cipher data. Using a message
digest produced by MD5, the suggested method also ensures integrity.
