In symmetric block ciphers, substitution and transposition operations are performed in multiple rounds to transform plaintext blocks into ciphertext blocks. In advanced Encryption Standard (AES) the transposition of data is facilitated by shift row and mix column operations. In Matrix Array Symmetric
