Description for Geometries, Codes and Cryptography
Paperback. A survey of current research into finite geometries and their applications to channel coding against noise and deliberate tampering. The text contains a section on unconditional secrecy and authentication, geometric threshold schemes and the applications of finite geometry to crytography. Editor(s): Longo, G.; Marchi, M.; Sgarro, A. Series: CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences: Courses & Lectures. Num Pages: 235 pages, 12 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBM; URY; UYA. Category: (P) Professional & Scholarly; (UP) Postgraduate. Dimension: 244 x 170 x 13. Weight in Grams: 421.
The general problem studied by information theory is the reliable transmission of information through unreliable channels. Channels can be unreliable either because they are disturbed by noise or because unauthorized receivers intercept the information transmitted. In the first case, the theory of error-control codes provides techniques for correcting at least part of the errors caused by noise. In the second case cryptography offers the most suitable methods for coping with the many problems linked with secrecy and authentication. Now, both error-control and cryptography schemes can be studied, to a large extent, by suitable geometric models, belonging to the important field ... Read more
