Abstract

Communication (verbal and nonverbal) plays a very important role in a society. Nonverbal form of communication involves having knowledge about the signs, behavior and attitude of the sender in which response is also crucial to show that the information is passed. Information is a power tool to any organization or society especially in the preservation of our culture. Hence, there is a need for information security (Cryptography). Yoruba has a peculiar and symbolic way of sending messages (Aroko). This investigation reveals that Arokois a form of symmetric cryptography Algorithms. Mathematical representation is secured and with Computer program (Software) the culture of the Yoruba people can be preserved especially in the area of sending secret messages called Aroko otherwise known as cryptography. The concept is also linked to Computational security.
