Discover the first unified treatment of today s most essential information technologies- Compressing, Encrypting, and Encoding
With identity theft, cybercrime, and digital file sharing proliferating in today s wired world, providing safe and accurate information transfers has become a paramount concern. The issues and problems raised in this endeavor are encompassed within three disciplines: cryptography, information theory, and error-correction. As technology continues to develop, these fields have converged at a practical level, increasing the need for a unified treatment of these three cornerstones of the information age.
