ABSTRACT
This chapter provides the most common types of attacks that can happen on a DNA network or a DNA system and how to defend against the security attacks. The principle of a classification of taxonomy is to identify the possibilities of different types of attacks. DNA computing is efficient for storing the data, but to store the huge volume of data, it needs high-technology laboratories. Thus, in DNA computing, confidentiality can be achieved by protecting the DNA sequence, which is arranged to facilitate computation or storage that are used to store huge amounts of data, replacing traditional servers and other storage devices. The chapter examines the significance of data security. It addresses attacks on DNA security, classified as either identity or non-identity. The main objective of security is confidentiality: keeping information away from persons who are not supposed to have it.
