Applications of finite geometry in coding theory and cryptography
We present in this article the basic properties of projective geometry, coding theory, and cryptography, and show how
finite geometry can contribute to coding theory and cryptography. In this way, we show links between three research areas, and in particular, show that finite geometry is not only interesting from a pure mathematical point of view, but also of interest for applications. We concentrate on introducing the basic concepts of these three research areas and give standard references for all these three research areas. We also mention particular results involving ideas from finite geometry, and particular results in cryptography involving ideas from coding theory
Higher Hamming weights for locally recoverable codes on algebraic curves
We study the locally recoverable codes on algebraic curves. In the first part
of this article, we provide a bound of generalized Hamming weight of these
codes. Whereas in the second part, we propose a new family of algebraic
geometric LRC codes, that are LRC codes from Norm-Trace curve. Finally, using
some properties of Hermitian codes, we improve the bounds of distance proposed
in [1] for some Hermitian LRC codes.
