The design and analysis of coding algorithms for reliable and secure digital communications

信息技术在很大程度上依赖于纠错码和密码协议，以确保信息的可靠和安全传输和存储。纠错码普遍用于通过网络发送数据包，在CD和闪存设备上写入数据，以及其他类似的现代通信方式。秘密共享方案是允许安全存储密钥和安全多方计算的协议，其中一组参与者希望计算他们的私人数据的商定函数，而不会以任何方式损害他们数据的隐私。

Information technology relies heavily upon error-correcting codes and cryptographic protocols to ensure the reliable and secure transmission and storage of information. Error-correcting codes are used universally for sending packets over the web, in writing data on CDs and flash memory devices, and other similar means of modern communication. Secret-sharing schemes are protocols that allow for the secure storage of cryptographic keys, and for secure multiparty computation, in which a group of participants want to compute an agreed function of their private data without in any way compromising the privacy of their data.
