Genetic ledger – pioneering secure and authentic data storage through DNA and blockchain

The rapid increase in digital data necessitates advanced storage solutions. This paper introduces the DNA-chain system, an innovative integration of DNA data storage and blockchain technology. Our hybrid system utilizes the high-density storage capability of synthetic DNA to handle massive amounts of data, alongside blockchain’s robust security and traceability features. We detail techniques for encoding digital data into DNA sequences, addressing compression, redundancy, and error correction. Multi-layered encoding organizes data efficiently, while Optimized Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) processes facilitate swift data replication and retrieval. Live-Data Mutation Checks ensure data integrity against natural alterations, and Self-evolving Blockchain technology continuously adapts to new security challenges, enhancing protection against tampering. The system leverages DNA’s parallel processing abilities, enabling multiple simultaneous data accesses, which improves throughput. DNA Digital Twins and Genetic Smart Markers mimic natural redundancy, enhancing retrieval efficiency. Real-time genetic analysis provides instant insights from stored data, supporting applications like long-term archival and time capsules. The DNA-chain system combines biological science with cryptographic techniques, offering a revolutionary, secure, and efficient data storage paradigm suited for future challenges.
