What is the DNA cipher
This app encodes a simple text message (letters and numbers only) into a sequence of DNA base pairs using the method described in Blake Crouch’s fictional book Upgrade. For more information see my post about it here.
Try the Upgrade DNA cipher yourself!
Use the below JavaScript app to encrypt your own messages! I have modified the coding from the book to break larger numbers into two digit chunks, otherwise 3 and 4 digit numbers become extremely long as they are represented by the number of 5s you need to add to get to them. For example, in this version the number 1050 is encoded as 10 and then 50 which becomes TCCTCCCCCCCCCC instead of TCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC.

This site has various methods to encode and decode text to DNA codons, along with many other cryptography tools.
Being smart doesn't make people infallible, it just makes them more dangerous.
