Xinhua News Agency, Paris, April 1 – As stated in a press release issued on the 1st, the French National Center for Scientific Research revealed that its researchers, working in tandem with their counterparts, have formulated a secure encryption method grounded in DNA technology and accomplished real-world trials. This innovative approach harnesses the remarkable storage capacity and inherent statistical randomness of DNA to produce binary keys, enabling the encryption of substantial amounts of data, reaching up to several hundred megabytes. Furthermore, the distribution of these keys is not limited by geographical distance, suggesting its potential application in long-distance communications, such as between Earth and the Moon. Trials have demonstrated that even in scenarios where the DNA carrying the encryption key is intercepted, the security of the communication remains uncompromised. This breakthrough presents a novel and promising avenue for encryption in highly sensitive domains, including diplomacy, military operations, and scientific research.
