We introduce a new symmetric cryptographic algorithm, based on the biological principle of redundancy. This algorithm has very good security and statistical properties. In addition, it suggests a nontrivial information-theoretical interpretation of the redundancy mechanism in DNA sequences which does not seem to be present in biological literature: according to this interpretation the introns do not directly code information, but play an essential role in the decoding procedure.
