Secured Data Transmission Using Modified LEHS Algorithm in Wireless Sensor Network

In the ancient block Hill cipher, the cipher text is obtained by multiplying the blocks of the plain text with the key matrix. To strengthen the keymatrix, a double guard Hill cipher was proposed with two key matrices, a private key matrix and its modified key matrix along with permutation. In the ancient block Hill cipher, the cipher text is obtained by multiplying the blocks of the plain text with the key matrix. To strengthen the key matrix, a double guard Hill cipher was proposed with two key matrices, a private key matrix and its modified key matrix along with permutation. In this paper a novel modification is performed to the double guard Hill cipher in order to reduce the number of calculation to obtain the cipher text by using non-square matrices. This modified double guard Hill cipher uses a non-square matrix of order (p × q) as its private keymatrix.
