MATLAB: Matrix multiplication using XOR

how to

I am multiplying two matrices together and instead of doing the regular addition I would to use XOR. I tried the XOR function but it gave me errors.
a = [2 3 1 1; 1 1 3 1; 1 1 2 3; 3 1 3 2]
b = [dec2hex(172);dec2hex(119);dec2hex(102);dec2hex(243)]
% prod = xor(a ,b)
prod = a * b
>> matrix
a =
2 3 1 1
1 1 3 1
1 1 2 3
3 1 3 2
b =
AC
77
66
F3
prod =
419 404
352 335
438 383
552 520

Sorry, but you cannot tell MATLAB to arbitrarily replace the addition in a matrix multiply (in a dot product) with some other operator. Some languages like APL for example, allow general dot product forms as I recall, but not in MATLAB. You CAN write code yourself do to that, which is what you will need to do.
