This research introduces a new method of cryptography that uses matrices, ASCII values, and the octal number system to make data more secure. Matrices help to transform data in a way that is difficult for hackers to reverse. ASCII values allow text to be converted into numbers, making it easier to use in mathematical operations. The octal number system provides a compact way to represent data, saving space and adding an extra layer of security. By combining these techniques, we have created encryption and decryption methods that are both strong and efficient. This approach ensures that data stays safe from common hacking methods while being practical to use in real-world applications.
