That being said, am I missing something here? Information encryption and image encoding are two entirely separate things.
I'm not paying for the research paper, but the abstract states:
> Parallel computing with molecular finite-state automata and fluorescently labeled DNA molecules has been used to decipher two different images encrypted onto a single DNA chip (see picture). The images were deciphered by a mixture of input molecules that were processed by biomolecular automata, a strategy that potentially offers a huge diversity of encrypted images.
Again, this isn't encryption as I understand it in the traditional 3DES/AES/pgp sense. This is something closer to stenography or encoding/decoding.
Can anyone clear up what exactly is going on here for me?
