We investigate practical short-blocklength coding for the semi-deterministic binary erasure wiretap channel (BE-WTC), where the main channel to the legitimate receiver is noiseless, and the eavesdropper's channel is a binary erasure channel…
A permutationally invariant n-bit code for quantum error correction can be realized as a subspace stabilized by the non-Abelian group S_n. The code corresponds to bases for the trivial representation, and all other irreducible…

A program's exceptional behavior can substantially complicate its control flow, and hence accurately reasoning about the program's correctness. On the other hand, formally verifying realistic programs is likely to involve exceptions -- a…
Run Length Encoding(RLE) is one of the oldest algorithms for data-compression available, a method used for compression of large data into smaller and therefore more compact data. It compresses by looking at the data for repetitions of the…

During compilation from Java source code to bytecode, some information is irreversibly lost. In other words, compilation and decompilation of Java code is not symmetric. Consequently, the decompilation process, which aims at producing…
The study of sending and receiving secret messages is called cryptography. Generally, senders and receivers are unaware about the process of encryption and decryption. Hence, encryption plays an important role in data communication and data…
