DNA Computing in Enhancing Cloud Security

Cloud computing refers to the provision of computer resources or services, such as processing power and data storage, without the need for additional hardware or software. The appeal of cloud computing lies in its pay-per-use, on-demand services, unlimited storage space, flexibility, and many other benefits. Data security is a significant concern in any cloud computing environment due to the prevalence of attackers. While conventional techniques such as cryptography algorithms are used to secure data in the cloud system, the large number of malicious users and hackers online raises concerns. A new method called “DNA computing,” which is inspired by the natural computer system, has recently drawn interest due to its potential for solving security problems. This article surveys the literature on quick and safe data access for cloud environments using DNA computing. The article covers the concepts of DNA computing, its benefits, and its use in data access. Additionally, the work discusses the state-of-the-art methods, presents their limitations, and suggests prospects for this field.
