Bitwise hill crypto system

This paper describes a modification to the conventional Hill Cipher system. The purpose of this paper is to explore the adeptness of Hill Cipher for binary data. The plaintext is any binary data such as images, audio, video, etc. The plaintext is subjected to scrambling by dividing it into 8 planes. Each of these planes is encrypted using a different key. From the study conducted on Bitwise Hill Cipher, it is found that it has enough security required for commercial applications.
