Abstract
Secured communication of text information is prime importance across the globe. Cryptography is one of the methods to attain security. The Hill cipher is a symmetric encryption algorithm vulnerable to the attack of knownplaintext. This paper proposes a modification to the Hill cipher. In the proposed cryptosystem, a prime circulant matrix is shared as a secret key and a non-singular matrix G is used as a public key such that the determinant of coefficient matrix Gc is zero. Which generates infinite solutions. This makes difficulty to find secret key matrix.
