Error Correction Coding and Secret Sharing

ECE 63901/ 3 Cr.

The theory and practice of error control coding is examined.  The study includes the arithmetic of Galois fields as well as linear block, cyclic, and convulution codes.  Some applications of codes in digital communication systems and in computer systems are presented.  The dual of error coding, secret sharing is also discussed.  Several secret sharing schemes will be presented.  Applications of secret sharing are discussed.
