Abstract
As invent of the new technology is rapidly increasing and population is adopting the new technologies. Cyber security is becoming a major concern. Today almost everything is done online like shopping, banking, storing, sharing and communication. Everywhere barcodes, QR codes, OTP, PIN and etc., are used. Still it is becoming very difficult to secure things. In this paper, we propose a new method of Data security and user authentication using DNA QR coding which is very much fast, secure and less predictable. In this proposed method any message is converted to DNA sequence. This DNA sequence is converted to QR codes which are called as DNA QR codes. These QR codes are transmitted to receiver and receiver needs to decode it using QR code scanner or QR code decoder.
