Coding theory and cryptography are interwoven fields that lie at the heart of secure communication and reliable data storage. The discipline of coding theory focuses on the design and analysis of ...

Code-based cryptography is a promising branch of post-quantum cryptography that exploits the inherent complexity of decoding linear error-correcting codes. Traditional schemes, such as the McEliece ...

Programmers are human, but mathematics is immortal. By making programming more mathematical, a community of computer scientists is hoping to eliminate the coding bugs that can open doors to hackers, ...

Two University of Illinois at Chicago math professors have just embarked on a not-so-secret mission: write a textbook that teaches cryptography and coding theory to middle-school students in a way ...
