C++ Program to Implement the Hill Cipher

C++ Program to Implement the Hill Cipher

 

 

This is a C++ Program to implement hill cipher. In classical cryptography, the Hill cipher is a polygraphic substitution cipher based on linear algebra. Invented by Lester S. Hill in 1929, it was the first polygraphic cipher in which it was practical (though barely) to operate on more than three symbols at once. The following discussion assumes an elementary knowledge of matrices.

 

Here is source code of the C++ Program to Implement the Hill Cypher. The C++ program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.

  1. #include<stdio.h>
  2. #include<iostream>

  4. using namespace std;

  11.     int a = x / 3;
  12.     int b = 3 * (a + 1);
  13.     int c = b - x;

  101. }

Output:

This cipher has a key of length 9. ie. a 3*3 matrix.
Enter the 9 character key. DharHingu
3  7  0  
17  7  8  
13  6  20  
 
Enter the length of string to be encoded(without spaces). 10
You have to enter 2 bogus characters.
Enter the string. Sanfoundry
 
The encoded cipher is : N B W A O Q Y Y X X D O
