Cryptography: Matrices and Encryption
www.math.utah.edumathematicians by using Linear Algebra. When the war broke out the Germans created a more effective enigma machine that included wires in the front to mix the letters up even more and make the code that much more difficult to crack. With the new features the enigma machine had 15 x 10^18 different combinations. This was

www.math.utah.edufew different forms of matrices applicable to the subject. On the way, we will apply these matrices to the functions they represented on the Enigma machine. Basic Matrices Used in Alphabet Manipulation So, we begin with a basic Identity matrix, 26x26 so that we can map a letter to each position on
Cryptography: An Introduction (3rd Edition)
www.cs.umd.eduthe Enigma machine easier on the eye. One may ask why does one need yet another book on cryptography? There are already plenty of books which either give a rapid introduction to all areas, like that of Schneier, or one which gives an encyclopedic overview, like the Handbook of Applied Cryptography (hereafter called HAC).
