A novel approach for securing data in IoTcloud using DNA cryptography and Huffman coding algorithm

Internet of Things and Cloud computing are the cutting-edge technologies gaining significance in today's IT world. Because of their simplicity and compatibility in all computing devices their usage is more in current trend. These technologies are integrated to form a platform called IoTcloud. Since these technologies are significantly used there is a need for security of data gathered from the devices connected through these technologies. In literature many approaches have been proposed for security of data. This paper provides a novel approach for providing data security in IoTcloud. The proposed approach provides security for data using keys generated by Huffman algorithm and DNA cryptography.
