Cloud computing is a set of IT services that are provided to a customer over a network on a leased basis and with the ability to scale up or down their service requirements. Usually cloud computing services are delivered by a third party provider who owns the infrastructure. Cloud computing provides people the way to share private resources and services. Since data are share between distributed resources via the network in the open environment there is always security threat. Due lack of proper security control policy and weakness in saving private data that lead to many vulnerability in cloud computing. This paper proposes alternative security methods based on DNA. A mechanism has been proposed and simulated for secure data transfer. The main objective of this paper is to study the existing approaches of secure data transfer over network in Cloud using proper authentication and propose a solution using DNA technique.

Keywords: Cloud Computing, DNA Computing, DNA Sequence, Data Hiding.
