It is important to understand why DNA is unique and uncopyable in a way that no other form of encryption can match; why there is no better proof of identity.  Evolved over eons, DNA provides the blueprint for all of biology. The information content is massive and highly customized by organism. With a capacity for content that is often compared to computer machine code, DNA is a linear polymer of extraordinary molecular weight that stores its information as a sequence of infinitely variable organic bases.

DNA has become the “Gold Standard of Forensics” due to its uncanny variability (consider all the variability across organisms and the variation within species), matched by a stringent fidelity, and detection methods that readily identify single molecules of a unique sequence (a detectability that will never be matched by any chemical or physical assay). Challenged by courts around the globe since 1980, there is no better proof of identity, nor is any better proof of identity likely to evolve.
