  • Cryptography is one of the most essential developing areas, which deals with the secure transfer of messages. In recent days, there are more number of algorithms have been evolved to provide better security. This work is also such an attempt. In this paper, an algorithm is presented for encryption and decryption which employs the matrix Qp* and the well- known equation x2 - py2 = 1 where p is a prime.
