Hill Cipher Explained 🗻

In this video, we are examining another cryptosystem, called Hill Cipher, named after mathematician Lester Sanders Hill (1891 - 1961). A quick overview, definition and a detailed example of Hill Cipher will be explored. To get the most out of this video, it would be ideal if you are already familiar with matrix multiplication and finding the inverse of a matrix, modular arithmetic, finding the multiplicative inverse of an element and gcd algorithm. I hope you enjoy watching this video and learn something new!
