【Abstract】Data Security has always been a challenge while sharing sensitive information and a lot of techniques have been developed to achieve it. Security should not hamper the availability of the data and hence, a technique that caters to both is needed. The use of classical and modern encryption technique are very common and are becoming prone to attacks by crypto-analytics. Due to the technological advancement, new ideas of data security comes very rapidly. For this reason the use of blockchain has become profound but the actual security of the data encryption technique always depends on the choice of the key. Stronger key leads to high data security. The paper aims to explore the concept of DNA encoding to propose a data encryption algorithm. It uses a dynamic DNA encoded table which contains different combination of four DNA bases A, C, G, and T but the main feature of dynamic DNA sequence table is its randomness which is changed for different characters in ASCII code in each run time. This randomness in the encryption disables attackers to perform any sort of statistical analysis to decipher the encrypted text or guess the key.
