Linear recurrent cryptography: golden-like cryptography for higher order linear recurrences

We develop matrix cryptography based on linear recurrent sequences of any order that allows securing encryption against brute force and chosen plaintext attacks. In particular, we solve the problem of generalizing error detection and correction algorithms of golden cryptography previously known only for recurrences of a special form. They are based on proving the checking relations (inequalities satisfied by the ciphertext) under the condition that the analog of the golden $Q$-matrix has the strong Perron-Frobenius property. These algorithms are proved to be especially efficient when the characteristic polynomial of the recurrence is a Pisot polynomial. Finally, we outline algorithms for generating recurrences that satisfy our conditions.
