        <p>In this paper, we define new sequences using Lucas and Pell sequences. Then the (q, m)-Lucas-Pell sequence matrix is introduced and some interesting structural results are obtained. These sequences are used to implement Blom’s key scheme and the security is examined. This is the first use of such sequences to obtain cryptographic keys.</p>
