no, i don't think so.  if there is no inverse of the secret matrix we can't calculate the matrix therefore eve can't decrypt.

1. How can Bob decrypt the message?

since bob has a 3by3 matrix, he just need to multiplying by inverse of the encryption matrix. then he has to translate to alphabet from what he got.


2. Can Eve decrypt the message without finding the inverse of the secret matrix?

no, i don't think so. if there is no inverse of the secret matrix we can't calculate the matrix therefore eve can't decrypt.
