Abstract
Steganography and encrypting were demonstrated with immuno-specific systems. IgG-proteins were used as invisible ink developed with complementary antibodies labeled with enzymes producing color spots. The information security was achieved by mixing the target protein-antigens used for the text encoding with masking proteins of similar composition but having different bioaffinity. Two different texts were simultaneously encoded by using two different encoding proteins in a mixture. Various encrypting techniques were exemplified with the immuno-systems used for the steganography. Future use of the developed approach for information protection and watermark-technology was proposed. Scaling down the encoded text to a micro-size is feasible with the use of nanotechnology.
