Description
The aim of the book is to bring together mathematicians working in both cryptography and in coding theory. These two topics are closely interrelated. Coding of information is predominantly concerned with ensuring that the data is in a form suitable for transmission and that the information can be protected from any errors during its transmission. Cryptography, on the other hand, is a technique for ensuring its privacy, authenticity, and its protection from deliberate alteration, as required by the application.
