Hill Cipher:
The 'HillCipher' class below implements the Hill Cipher algorithm which uses
modern linear algebra techniques to encode and decode text using an encryption
key matrix.

Algorithm:
Let the order of the encryption key be N (as it is a square matrix).
Your text is divided into batches of length N and converted to numerical vectors
by a simple mapping starting with A=0 and so on.

The key is then multiplied with the newly created batch vector to obtain the
encoded vector. After each multiplication modular 36 calculations are performed
on the vectors so as to bring the numbers between 0 and 36 and then mapped with
their corresponding alphanumerics.

While decrypting, the decrypting key is found which is the inverse of the
encrypting key modular 36. The same process is repeated for decrypting to get
the original message back.

Constraints:
The determinant of the encryption key matrix must be relatively prime w.r.t 36.

Note:
This implementation only considers alphanumerics in the text.  If the length of
the text to be encrypted is not a multiple of the break key(the length of one
batch of letters), the last character of the text is added to the text until the
length of the text reaches a multiple of the break_key. So the text after
decrypting might be a little different than the original text.

Об этом алгоритме

The Hill cipher was invented by Lester S. Hill.

Hill cipher is a polygraphic substitution cipher based on linear algebra. Each letter is represented by a number modulo 26. Often the simple scheme A = 0, B = 1, …, Z = 25 is used, but this is not an essential feature of the cipher. To encrypt a message, each block of n letters (considered as an n-component vector) is multiplied by an invertible n × n matrix, against modulus 26. To decrypt the message, each block is multiplied by the inverse of the matrix used for encryption.

Example

Suppose we take an example as: Plain Text (PT):ACT key:GYBNQKURP

Steps

Encryption

  1. We have to write key as an n × n matrix as
   [6 24   1]
   [13 16 10]
   [20 17 15]
  1. Same way convert PT into a vector as
    [0]
    [2]
    [19]
  1. Now, we need to encipher the vector by just multiplying these two matrices
    [6 24   1]      [0]         [67]        [15]
    [13 16 10]  *   [2]     =   [222]   ≈   [4]   (mod 26)
    [20 17 15]      [19]        [319]       [7]

So we will get the encrypted text as POH.

Decryption

  1. We need to first inverse our key matrix
           -1 
   [6 24   1]      [8 5  10]
   [13 16 10]   ≈  [21 8 21]  (mod 26) 
   [20 17 15]      [21 12 8]
  1. For the previous Cipher Text POH
    [8 5  10]     [15]      [260]     [0]
    [21 8 21]  *  [14]  ≈   [574]  ≈  [2]    (mod 26)  ≈ ACT
    [21 12 8]     [7]       [539]     [19]
