Foundations Of Coding: Compression, Encryption, Error Correction

The book is based on the translation of a French version published by Dunod in 2007, and corrected and reprinted in 2009. Compared to the French book, this book has been revised and significantly augmented. It contains 20% more pages and 27 new excercises; covers frequently used techniques such as elliptic curves, low density parity codes or matrix barcodes; and has updated sections in steganography and watermarking, Maximum Likelihood decoding, Galois hashing and counter mode, OAEP, saturation attacks, and post-quantum cryptography.
