DNA Sentinel

Inspiration

My project was inspired by research showing that malicious code can be encoded into DNA, presenting a novel cybersecurity threat.

What We Learned

I learned how to merge bioinformatics with cybersecurity to validate genomic data and prevent dangerous code injections.

What it does

DNA Sentinel validates DNA sequences, converts them into binary, and scans for malicious patterns to protect sensitive genomic data.

How we built it

I built the solution using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Bootstrap to implement multi-layered security checks on DNA sequences.

Challenges we ran into

My main challenge was balancing robust security with a user-friendly design while ensuring accurate detection of malicious patterns.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I successfully built and demonstrated a multi-layered DNA validation system that prevents malicious code injection in genomic data.

What we learned

I learned how to integrate bioinformatics with advanced cybersecurity techniques to ensure the integrity and safety of genomic information.

What's next for DNA Sentinel

I could expand the platform to support a wider range of file formats, enhance threat detection capabilities, and integrate with healthcare and forensic systems.
