Error Control Coding for Security

            Information and communication technologies (ICT) have become an infrastructure for national socioeconomic development. As the demand for ICT is continuously growing, spectral efficiency, communication reliability, and throughput are prominent keys for all modern communication systems. To serve such a demand, error control coding technology has been applied to many communication systems as well as communication-like systems, such as hard disk drive. This project aims at research and development on error control coding applications for the systems that require tight security such as satellite communications, mobile systems, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMax), unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, hard disk systems, and quantum cryptography. Objectives of this project are as follows:

         - Create a knowledge base of error control coding
         - Develop a simulation software for system design and test
         - Develop a hardware prototype i.e. an intellectual property (IP) core
