Splitting a literal genomic sequence into 4 binary files is enough to ensure confidentiality and integrity during storage and transfer of information. The binary files are resources for RSA or one-time-pad (OTP) cryptography protocols. It is speculated that representing nucleic bases as Bell states in a quantum view of a sequence would provide tools for genomic data protection when implemented in an authentic quantum computer, soon to come as a practical and readily available device.
