This interdisciplinary volume contains papers from both a conference and special session on Error-Control Codes, Information Theory and Applied Cryptography. Th

The general problem studied by information theory is the reliable transmission of information through unreliable channels. Channels can be unreliable either bec

This textbook provides a rigorous mathematical perspective on error-correcting codes, starting with the basics and progressing through to the state-of-the-art.

Although devoted to constructions of good codes for error control, secrecy or data compression, the emphasis is on the first direction. Introduces a number of i

Graduate-level introduction to error-correcting codes, which are used to protect digital data and applied in public key cryptosystems.
