Abstract:
We introduce a natural generalization of the golden cryptography, which uses general unimodular matrices in place of the traditional Q matrices, and prove that it preserves the original error correction properties of the encryption. Moreover, the additional parameters involved in generating the coding matrices make this unimodular cryptography resilient to the chosen plaintext attacks that worked against the golden cryptography. Finally, we show that even the golden cryptography is generally unable to correct double errors in the same row of the ciphertext matrix, and offer an additional check number which, if transmitted, allows for the correction.
