Abstract

Cryptography is the study of methods of sending a message in disguised form so that only the intended people can receive the original message. In data communication, the major issue now is the security of the data. To maintain its confidentiality, integrity and availability, we need to protect the data and its communications from rivals. Today in this e-world, the necessity of protecting the data is of higher importance. With the introduction of computers in this modern world, message sharing becomes very easy via e-mail, mobile phone communication etc.,. Also the information that is being sent via computers can be intercepted and read by an enemy. So the necessity of data hiding is obvious. In this research paper, we give a study on Hill’s cipher in cryptography.
