People have long started using their fingerprint to gain access to their smartphone. A retinal scan to confirm passport data may be the next step. However, is storing your Bitcoin wallet details in your DNA too much?
Changing the genetic code for the sake of safe storage of digital savings is reminiscent of a dystopian film, perhaps even a reference to the Incredible Hulk, however, in theory, this is what will help solve the problem of the security of crypto assets. This is also completely doable. DNA has regions suitable for storing code.
Carverr is a company exploring “the possibilities of nature.” They realize that everything natural has a limit, they want to find it and test it. They recently started providing a service they call SeKhor, which they describe as a “cold storage DNA wallet.”
How does SeKhor work?
You encrypt your key, password, or any other personal information you want to keep secure, then give the encrypted version to Carverr employees. Your DNA contains thymine, adenine, cytosine and guanine. With the help of these proteins, a new DNA chain is created and stored in a test tube. The test tube now contains a strand of your DNA, which can be converted back into binary code and deciphered, after which you can get the information you wanted to save.
I would not recommend our readers to use this new technology - who knows what the consequences are. However, I do believe that if this technology evolves in the direction of security, it will have a number of undeniable advantages - for example, you will never forget your password again.
The disadvantages are an invasive procedure for inserting and extracting DNA, and also, in theory, you can always inadvertently transfer personal code to other people if you do not take the appropriate precautions in close contact, if you know what I mean.
