title: Biocryptography.
abstract: A new cryptology that uses biomolecules as carriers of hidden information is described here. The huge dimension of biopolymers permits the insertion there of private messages and the rapidity and specificity of biomolecular interactions facilitate the identification of classified communications. Otherwise, this process can be implemented in a virtual context.
