摘要：In this paper, we have devoted our attention to the study of a block cipher which is obtained by modifying the classical Feistel cipher. In this, the plaintext block is divided into two matrices of equal size, and one of the matrices is multiplied by one key on the left side and the other key on the right side. The resulting expression is subjected to modulo operation. After interchanging the portions of the plaintext, they are blended very thoroughly (by converting the decimal numbers into binary bits) in each round of the iteration process. The avalanche effect shows that the cipher is reliable, and the cryptanalysis firmly confirms that the cipher is a strong one.
