Step 1
It involves the use of two different keys - a public key and a private key. In this system, a public key is used to encrypt a message, while a private key is used to decrypt it. The public key is freely available to anyone, while the private key is kept secret Show more…

Cryptography One method of encryption is to use a matrix to encrypt the message and then use the corresponding inverse matrix to decode the message. The encrypted matrix, $E$, is obtained by multiplying the message matrix, $M$ by a key matrix, $K$. The original message can be retrieved by multiplying the encrypted matrix by the inverse of the key matrix. That is, $E=M \cdot K$ and $M=E \cdot K^{-1}$ (a) The key matrix $K=\left[\begin{array}{lll}2 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 1\end{array}\right] .$ Find its inverse $, K^{-1}$. [Note: This key matrix is known as the $Q_{2}^{3}$ Fibonacci encryption matrix.] (b) Use the result from part (a) to decode the encrypted $$ \text { matrix } E=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 47 & 34 & 33 \\ 44 & 36 & 27 \\ 47 & 41 & 20 \end{array}\right] $$ (c) Each entry in the result for part (b) represents the position of a letter in the English alphabet $(A=1$, $B=2, C=3,$ and so on $) .$ What is the original message?

"Assume Alice and Bob use public key cryptography in their communications. If Alice and Bob want to agree on a secret value; then Alice uses her key and Bob's key to compute the secret value: public public private public public private private /private"
