Hello David,
First of all let me correct a misunderstanding here, DNA is not about compression but about
encoding and decoding. The main goal of DNA is to store data effectively on a local storage device.
So key codes are (yet) not exchangeable between systems without the corresponding reference table.
You can compare DNA with a kind of dictionary encoding/decoding method.
The coming up white paper will explain things in more detail.
This is a very interesting and good question, and the answer is NO. Within the reference table nothing of the original files can be found back, and without the key code in combination with the number of iterations the original file can not be restored. This makes DNA already a very solid encryption tool.
