Enhanced Data Security Using a Novel Cryptographic Algorithm

Cryptography is a very good area for R&D today. With each and every new cryptographic algorithm being developed, ways to crack those algorithms are also being developed at a very fast pace. In this paper, I have developed a new cryptographic algorithm, in which a matrix based on the length of words is generated, few operations are performed on this matrix and the resultant matrix obtained, is used for encryption and decryption. Everything in the plain text, including full stops, apostrophe, comma and all the special symbols which have ASCII value from 33 to 126 will be encrypted.
