We consider molecular models for computing and derive a DNA-based mechanism for solving intractable problems through massive parallelism. In principle, such methods might reduce the effort needed to solve otherwise difficult tasks, such as factoring large numbers. We investigate the application of such techniques to cryptography.

Molecular Computing
TLDR
A molecular Turing machine is designed and it is shown that such molecular computers can in fact compute PSPACE, under the generous assumptions implicit in A94].
The Emergence of the Discipline of Biomolecular Computation in the US
TLDR
A description of the recent evolution in the US of an emerging technology known as DNA Computation from its early stages to its development and extension into other areas such as nanotechnology, emerging as a viable sub-discipline of science and engineering.
DNA Computing: A Survey
TLDR
A review on DNA computing: molecular biology is used to suggest a new way of solving a NP-complete problem, and strands of DNA are used to encode the problem and to manipulate them using techniques commonly available in any molecular biology laboratory, in order to simulate operations that select the solution of the problem, if it exists.
