  • Integrated genomic and proteomic security protocol
    Patent number: 8898479
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, computer programs and methods for implementing a genomics-based security solution are discussed herein. In an encryption process, plaintext may be converted to DNAtext and DNAtext may be converted to a ciphergene. The ciphergene may then be converted into a pre-transcriptional complex. The pre-transcriptional complex, in turn, may then be converted into a cipherprotein. The decryption process operates in the reverse of the encryption process to obtain plaintext.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 27, 2012
    Date of Patent: November 25, 2014
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics Space Administration

  • GENOMICS-BASED KEYED HASH MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION CODE PROTOCOL
    Publication number: 20130044876
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, computer programs and methods for implementing a genomics-based security solution are discussed herein. The genomics-based security solution may include reading and parsing a plaintext message comprising a string of words and assigning a lexicographic value to each word in the string to code each word in a rational number. The solution may also include assigning a letter code to each letter. The letter code for each letter may correspond with a function in molecular biology.

  • CRYPTOGRAPHIC APPROACH TO MICRORNA TARGET BINDING ANALYSIS
    Publication number: 20130046528
    Abstract: A cryptographic approach to miRNA:mRNA binding analysis is presented. Coded miRNA and mRNA sequences may be split into a plurality of subsequences and encrypted using an encryption algorithm. The encrypted subsequences may then be decrypted, analyzed using vector analysis, evaluated, and scored accordingly.

  • Sol-gel processing to form doped sol-gel monoliths inside hollow core optical fiber and sol-gel core fiber devices made thereby
    Patent number: 6445861
    Abstract: A process of fabricating a fiber device includes providing a hollow core fiber, and forming a sol-gel material inside the hollow core fiber. The hollow core fiber is preferably an optical fiber, and the sol-gel material is doped with a dopant. Devices made in this manner includes a wide variety of sensors.
