Using Deep Learning to Detect Digitally Encoded DNA Trigger for Trojan Malware in Bio-Cyber Attacks. (arXiv:2202.11824v1 [cs.CR])

This article uses Deep Learning technologies to safeguard DNA sequencing
against Bio-Cyber attacks. We consider a hybrid attack scenario where the
payload is encoded into a DNA sequence to activate a Trojan malware implanted
in a software tool used in the sequencing pipeline in order to allow the
perpetrators to gain control over the resources used in that pipeline during
sequence analysis. The scenario considered in the paper is based on
perpetrators submitting synthetically engineered DNA samples that contain
digitally …
