Calculate the key of a Hill-cipher using known plain- and ciphertext
I know I should calculate the multiple inverse of plaintext with ciphertext $\pmod {26}$. However, the problem I have is that the plaintext is a $3 \times 4$ matrix which is not square, so how would I ...

Security of a custom non linear hill cipher
Initially let me state that this is an atypical type of cryptographic encoding. First I break up my key into three parts $k = {W,\overrightarrow{b},\alpha}$. the $W$ is simply a $n \times n$ matrix, $...

how to find key matrix in hill cipher
I want to solve this problem but there are 3 known plaintext-ciphertext pairs.
The key of Hill cipher is a 3*3 matrix as k=[k1,k2,3; k4,k5,k6; k7,k8,k9]
where the unknown ki={0,1,...25}={A,B,......
