Abstract: Following [1] we further apply the octonionic structure to supersymmetric D=11 $M$-theory. We consider the octonionic $2^{n+1}imes{2}^{n+1}$ Dirac matrices describing the sequence of Clifford algebras with signatures ($9+n,n$) ($n=0,1,2,\mathrm{...}$) and derive the identities following from the octonionic multiplication table. The case $n=1$ ($4imes4$ octonion-valued matrices) is used for the description of the D=11 octonionic $M$ superalgebra with 52 real bosonic charges; the $n=2$ case ($8imes8$ octonion-valued matrices) for the D=11 conformal $M$ algebra with 232 real bosonic charges. The octonionic structure is described explicitly for $n=1$ by the relations between the 528 Abelian O(10,1) tensorial charges $Z_{m}u{Z}_{muu},Z_{mugt\mathrm{...}m{u}_5}$ of the $M$-superalgebra. For $n=2$ we obtain 2080 real non-Abelian bosonic tensorial charges $Z_{muu},Z_{m{u}_{1}m{u}_{2}m{u}_3},Z_{m{u}_1\mathrm{...}m{u}_6}$ which, suitably constrained describe the generalized D=11 octonionic conformal algebra. Further, we consider the supersymmetric extension of this octonionic conformal algebra which can be described as D=11 octonionic superconformal algebra with a total number of 64 real fermionic and 239 real bosonic generators.
