"Cartesian Authentication Codes from Error Correcting Codes"

By

Mr. Xuesong Wang


Abstract

Authentication codes have been developed since 1974, while error
correcting codes have a long history. There are several approaches to the
construction of authentication codes without secrecy using error
correcting codes. In this thesis, we present two constructions which are
generalizations of some known constructions. Within the frameworks, we
construct several classes of authentication codes via certain types of
error correcting codes. Some authentication codes are better than known
ones with comparable parameters. Others which cannot be compared with
existing ones are asympototically optimal.
