E. nigma Project: Using E. coli to compute values of a cryptographic hash function
Our multidisciplinary team conducted a project that drew expertise from biology and mathematics to explore the possibility of designing, modeling, constructing, and testing logic gates that would enable bacteria to compute a hash function. The links below provide documentation of the diverse outcomes of our research, illustrating not only the feasibility of bacterial computation but the ability of undergraduates students to contribute to an important emerging field.
Hash functions and biological systems
Define XOR logic gates and how it was used with biological inputs and outputs
Describe different design architectures
Describe cellular communication systems used
