Cryptographic tools like Hill's encryption algorithm protect digital data. In this work, we present a novel Hill cipher security method that utilizes Gaussian integers from number theory. Using these intriguing mathematical entities to disguise plaintext values dramatically boosts assault resistance and duration. This research includes a three-pass protocol for encryption and decryption without key exchange, ensuring a safe, efficient, and dependable solution. Pandas is used for efficient data processing, and Numpy for computational tasks, notably matrices. Hill cipher-based encryption and decryption can be utilized in real life. It also demonstrates how to save Pandas DataFrame data to Excel. This strategy assures progress in cryptography. Uniquely designed for banking, it emphasizes its applicability and possible influence on present financial systems.
