Utilizing Encryption Keys Derived from Immunoaffinity Interactions as a Basis for Potential Security Enhancements.

Bioaffinity interactions allow antibodies and antigens to bind and were shown to successfully produce cryptographic keys for encryption in this research. This straightforward immune-system-based construct has shown that data obtained from immunoassay interactions may be utilized to create symmetrical key ciphers. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), the current standard method to encrypt and decrypt data, was implemented to show that biomolecules from immune systems can be applied to cryptography for security enhancements.
