About this document
Code-Based Cryptography Overview by Juan David Torres is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses code-based cryptography and error-correcting codes. It introduces concepts like error-correcting codes, encoding, parity checking, decoding, Hamming distance, minimum distance, and error detection/correction capability. Specifically, it shows that the Hamming distance defines a metric on codewords, the minimum distance of a code is equal to its minimum weight, and the minimum distance relates to the error detection/correction threshold of a code.
