Abstract In recent years, DNA Password is a new cryptography field which appears with DNA calculation. This paper briefly introduces the DNA cryptography, Traditional cryptography and Quantum cryptography. From the basic concepts, theoretical foundations, concrete operation processes, safety basis and the current development achievements and shortcomings of the three fields, this paper obtains DNA cryptography’s advantages and disadvantages compared with traditional DNA cryptography and quantum cryptography and analyzes its causes. Then, this paper shows the achievements of DNA cryptography in practical application and its future development direction. Finally, it will make an outlook that a new mixed cryptography system can be created on the advantages of the three kinds of cryptography. Keywords DNA computing Quantum cryptography

1 Introduction DNA calculation is a frontier disciplines in recent years [1–3], while cryptography is a nearly two-thousand-year old tool used to protect data from the old Caesar password to modern cryptography overdue. However, the connections between the two seemingly no contact disciplines are closer in modern technology.

Cryptography technology is the core of the information security technology [4], comprising mainly the password encoding technology and cryptanalysis [5, 6]. Currently, the classification standard for password theory and technology is whether it is based on mathematical problem. One of the cryptography not based on mathematical problem is DNA password, which will be discussed in this paper. The encryption, decryption and security of traditional cryptography and modern cryptography, which based on the former, are all based on math problems. All the password systems but the one-time ones are theoretical secure. If the attacker has enough computing power, he could decipher these passwords. However, as the most highly developed and frequently used password systems, they have quiet mature algorithm and theory. As a new conception, Quantum cryptography uses the theoretical basis as its safe mode [6], simply, it is a new password system based on single photon and its inherent quantum properties [7]. Quantum state can’t be determined without interfering the system, namely, the attacker can’t decode the password without being discovered. And according to Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, quantum password will be unbreakable. DNA password is a new kind of cryptography associated with DNA computing research in recent years. Using DNA as its information carrier, and modern biote
