A Hills matrix is an encryption tool. For a language comprising 26 characters, you would use an invertible n*n matrix where each element is modulo 26. That is a Hill matrix, H.
To encode a plain text message,
The matrix H, is selected from a set of n*n matrices which are invertible and, for a 26-letter language, the determinant should not be divisible by a factor of 26 (2 or 13).
