Structure and performance of generalized quasi-cyclic codes

On the Grobner Basis of a Family of Quasi-Cyclic LDPC Codes

One generator quasi-cyclic codes over F2 + uF2 + vF2 + uvF2

In this paper, we study the structure of 1-generator quasi-cyclic codes over the ring R = F2 +uF2 + vF2 + uvF2, with u2 = v2 = 0 and uv = vu. We determine the minimal spanning sets for these codes. As a generalization of these codes, we also investigate the structure of 1-generator generalized quasi-cyclic codes over R and determine a BCH type bound for them.

Improving the Rao-Nam secret key cryptosystem using regular EDF-QC-LDPC codes

This paper proposes an efficient joint secret key encryption-channel coding cryptosystem, based on regular Extended Difference Family Quasi-Cyclic Low-Density Parity-Check codes. The key length of the proposed cryptosystem decreases up to 85 percent using a new efficient compression algorithm. Cryptanalytic methods show that the improved cryptosystem has a significant security advantage over Ra...

Generalized Quasi-Cyclic Codes Over $\mathbb{F}_q+u\mathbb{F}_q$

Generalized quasi-cyclic (GQC) codes with arbitrary lengths over the ring Fq + uFq, where u 2 = 0, q = p, n a positive integer and p a prime number, are investigated. By the Chinese Remainder Theorem, structural properties and the decomposition of GQC codes are given. For 1-generator GQC codes, minimal generating sets and lower bounds on the minimum distance are given. As a special class of GQC...

Skew Generalized Quasi-cyclic Codes

This article discusses skew generalized quasi-cyclic codes over any finite field F with Galois automorphism θ. This is a generalization of quasi-cyclic codes and skew polynomial codes. These codes have an added advantage over quasi-cyclic codes since their lengths do not have to be multiples of the index. After a brief description of the skew polynomial ring F[x; θ], we show that a skew general...
