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, , is obtained by multiplying the message matrix, , by a key matrix, . The original message can be retrieved by multiplying the encrypted matrix by the inverse of the key matrix. That is, and .
(a) Given the key matrix , find its inverse, . [Note: This key matrix is known as the Fibonacci encryption matrix.]
(b) Use your result from part (a) to decode the encrypted matrix
(c) Each entry in your result for part (b) represents the position of a letter in the English alphabet (and so on). What is the original message?
