Despite the difficulties of applying DNA computational tool on cryptography, a new direction in DNA cryptography research is performed to provide data and information security.DNA can be used to store and transmit the information and also to perform computation.Using block ciphers, images have poor encryption effect due to their intrinsic features such as bulky data capacity and high data redundancy.In this paper, a combination of DNA computing and round-reduced AES block cipher is proposed.The proposed technique can be used not only to achieve a high level of security but also to obtain fast implementation.
