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.
