This paper introduces an advanced cryptosystem for message encryption and decryption, integrating the International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA) with soft set and soft matrix principles. Soft sets, conceptualized by Molodtsov, are adept at managing uncertainty, making them ideal for cryptographic frameworks. Our approach utilizes inverse and characteristic products of soft sets and matrices, combined with the robust IDEA algorithm, to significantly enhance security. The IDEA algorithm operates on 64 -bit data blocks with a 128 -bit key, ensuring strong encryption. Additionally, we incorporate the symmetric to introduce complex permutations, further strengthening the cryptographic process by ensuring unique encryptions for identical plaintexts. This layered approach drastically improves resilience against unauthorized decryption. Practical applications demonstrate the system's efficacy, highlighting its superior security and reliability for data transmission in environments with high uncertainty. This innovative cryptosystem provides a formidable solution for contemporary encryption challenges.
