Abstract: In the present investigation, we developed a novel Feistel cipher by dividing the plaintext into a pair of matrices. In the process of encryption, we have used a bunch of keys and modular arithmetic addition. The avalanche effect shows that the cipher is a strong one. The cryptanalysis carried out on this cipher indicates that this cipher cannot be broken by any cryptanalytic attack and it can be used for secured transmission of information.
