Abstract
: Digital communication is becoming an integral component of contemporary society and the use of mobile devices is increasing faster than ever. The function of message communication is becoming more popular as for mobile phone users, a short messaging service (SMS) requires an extremely high level of security. Any SMS that enters a person's smartphone must be considered a private affair, with privacy and security safeguarded. This research study found a novel Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) Cryptography method that uses a dynamic DNA sequence table to increase security. Cryptography is a popular approach for ensuring the confidentiality of a message. This paper proposed an Efficient Cryptographic Scheme for SMS (ECSS) algorithm to protect texts received from an Android smartphone. ECSS-based encryption has been identified as a novel method of securing information in the form of DNA molecules that employ DNA strands to conceal the information. This Paper provides the DNA cryptography approach for encrypting and decrypting plain texts in this work. The primary goal of ECSS cryptography is to guarantee secrecy when people transfer data across a network. This paper examines DNA Crypto, the distinction between classical cryptography and DNA Data encryption. An Android-based app is created to perform the proposed technique and the results show that the algorithms produce a consistent encryption result in which the length of the message before encryption is always the same as the length of the message after decryption. The suggested security solution has the potential to greatly improve the security of mobile communication. This Paper also provides experimental results for our chat application performance, such as received text message correctness, cipher text, average encryption time and average decryption time. According to the findings/results of this study, the speed of average encryption and decryption of the description is roughly 0.011 and 0.037 sec and prevents plaintext and dictionary attacks.
