On the decoding of 1-Fibonacci error correcting codes

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The study of new error correcting codes has raised attention in the last years, especially because of their use in cryptosystems that are resistant to attacks running on quantum computers. In 2006, while leaving a more in-depth analysis for future research, Stakhov gave some interesting ideas on how to exploit Fibonacci numbers to derive an original error correcting code with a compact representation. In this work we provide an explicit formula to compute the redundancy of Stakhov codes, we identify some flows in the initial decoding procedure described by Stakhov, whose crucial point is to solve some non-trivial Diophantine equations, and provide a detailed discussion on how to avoid solving such equations in some cases and on how to detect and correct errors more efficiently.
