Abstract
Hill-Cipher is one of the symmetric encryption algorithms that use one key for the encryption and decryption processes. This used key should be sent to the receiver in order to do the decryption process. However, to avoid sending the key to the receiver, three-pass protocol is applied. Three-pass protocol is a scheme to transmit data between the sender and receiver without having any advance distribution for the keys. In this study, a new attack on the encryption algorithm, three-pass protocol on Hill-Cipher, is introduced. This attack depends only on the ciphertext which makes us break this system by analyzing the encryption and decryption process.
