Error-Correcting Codes and Cryptology
General description
An introduction to Coding Theory and Cryptology:
The course will have two parts, the first part will be devoted
to coding theory. Error correcting codes were invented to solve
the engineering problem of correcting the errors that may arise
in the transmission of information on noisy channels. Basics
results are shown, specially those concerning families of linear
error correcting codes. But also some non linear codes as the
convolutional, will be presented.
The second part will be devoted
to the problem of data encryption. Some classical cryptosystems
will be introduced, including some that make use of the correcting
codes.
