Encryption with bacteria: Team:Hong Kong-CUHK - 2010.igem.org

Team:Hong Kong-CUHK - 2010.igem.org: Data encryption and storage has always been an important branch of research in computer engineering. In our project, we explored the possibility of harnessing a biological system as an alternative solution for data en/decryption and storage. Using bacteria as the information storage device is not new. However the practicability of previous research is being doubt due to the limited size of information available to be inserted into the bacteria.
