Description

Features

Provides a concise and self-contained introduction to modern cryptography, with an emphasis on public-key methods

Spends considerable time on two of the most applicable codes, Reed-Solomon and convolutional codes, that are used by NASA

Describes how music is encoded on compact discs, and how error correlation enables long bursts of errors to be corrected

Summary

Containing data on number theory, encryption schemes, and cyclic codes, this highly successful textbook, proven by the authors in a popular two-quarter course, presents coding theory, construction, encoding, and decoding of specific code families in an "easy-to-use" manner appropriate for students with only a basic background in mathematics offering revised and updated material on the Berlekamp-Massey decoding algorithm and convolutional codes. Introducing the mathematics as it is needed and providing exercises with solutions, this edition includes an extensive section on cryptography, designed for an introductory course on the subject.
