Abstract

A method for Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) based security, the method may include obtaining, by a first computerized entity, unique DNA information of a person that is unique to the person; generating authentication information in response to the unique DNA information; and participating, by the first computerized entity, in an authentication process for conforming an identity of the person, wherein the participating involves utilizing the authentication information.

Claims

1. A method for Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) based security, the method comprises:

obtaining, by a first computerized entity, unique DNA information of a person that is unique to the person;

generating authentication information in response to the unique DNA information; and

participating, by the first computerized entity, in an authentication process for conforming an identity of the person, wherein the participating involves utilizing the authentication information.

2. The method according to claim 1 comprising:

calculating a DNA based token from the unique DNA information; and

generating, by the first computerized entity, at least one DNA based key out of a DNA based encryption key and a DNA based authentication key based on the DNA based token.

3. The method according to claim 2 comprising preventing, by the first computerized entity, an access of an entity outside the first computerized entity, to the at least one DNA based key.

4. The method according to claim 2 comprising generating the at least one key in response to the DNA based token and at least one other information unit.

5. The method according to claim 4 wherein the at least one other information unit is selected out of a location information unit, a non-DNA biometric information unit, a non-DNA information sequence identifier, and a one-time non-DNA password.

6. The method according to claim 1 comprising:

calculating a first and a second DNA based tokens from the unique DNA information;

associating the first DNA based token with a first application; and

associating the second DNA based token with a second application.

7. The method according to claim 1 wherein the participating in the authentication process comprises participating in multiple spaced apart authentication sessions.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein a participating in at least one authentication session of the multiple spaced apart authentication sessions comprises sending, by the first computerized entity to a second computerized entity, an encrypted DNA based token that is generated by encrypting a DNA based token generated in response to the unique DNA information of the person.

9. The method according to claim 8 comprising encrypting the DNA based token to provide the encrypted DNA based token using a key calculated in response to the unique DNA information.

10. The method according to claim 7, wherein a participating in at least one authentication session of the multiple spaced apart authentication sessions comprises sending samples of biometric information related to the person, the biometric information is non-DNA information.

11. The method according to claim 1, comprising selecting non-DNA biometric information of the person to provide selected non-DNA biometric samples, wherein the selecting is responsive to the unique DNA information;

wherein the selected non-DNA forms at least a portion of the authentication information.

12. The method according to claim 1 wherein the obtaining comprises:

extracting DNA information from at least one cell of the person; and

extracting the unique DNA information from the DNA information.

13. The method according to claim 1 wherein the obtaining comprises:

receiving DNA information that was extracted from at least one cell of the person; and

extracting the unique DNA information from the DNA information.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores instructions that once executed by a first computerized entity cause the first computerized entity to obtain unique DNA information of a person that is unique to the person;

and participate in an authentication process for conforming an identity of the person, wherein the participating involves utilizing authentication information that is responsive to the unique DNA information.

15. A computerized device that comprises a memory module for storing unique Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of a person;

and a processor that is arranged to generate authentication information in response to the unique DNA information; and

participate in an authentication process for conforming an identity of the person, wherein the participating involves utilizing the authentication information.
