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,
- encode the plain-text message using a = 0, b = 1, ..., z = 25.
- chop the message into strings of n characters.
- premultiply the column vector so formed by H.
- convert the resulting n*1 matrix to modulo 26.
- that is the encrypted message.
- to decrypt, premultiply the encrypted version by H^-1, modulo 26 .
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).

What is the definition of identity matrix?
Identity or Unit Matrix If in the scaler matrix the value of k=1, the matrix is called the identity or unit matrix. It is denoted by I or U.
Definition of Lower-triangular matrix?
Lower-triangular Matrix A square matrix A whose elements aij=0 for i
What is the definition of a diagonal matrix?
Diagonal Matrix A square matrix A which is both uper-triangular and lower triangular is called a diagonal matrix. Diagonal matrix is denoted by D.

What is the definition of Uper-triangular matrix?
Uper-triangular Matrix A square matrix A whose elements aij=0 for i>j is called upper triangular matrix.
What is the determinant of a 2x3 matrix?
The determinant function is only defined for an nxn (i.e. square) matrix. So by definition of the determinant it would not exist for a 2x3 matrix.
