SECURE TRANSMISSION OF GENOMIC DATA

摘要

The amount of genomic data as well the sensitivity of the information carried necessitates the need to develop smart and efficient ways to transmit genomic data in a secure way. While encryption schemes exist, there is also the need to first reduce the amount of massive information and then apply an encoding and encryption method that will be effective both in the economic sense as well as for security of genomic data. In this invention, we discuss novel techniques to encode processed variant information and send it across to a remote site ensuring covert transmission. The protocols not only encode and encrypts the information; it condenses the information that needs to be transferred.
