Abstract :
The McEliece public key cryptosystem is modified to create an integrated security/error control system for digital communication networks. The security of the resulting system is examined in detail, with particular emphasis on the trade-off between error control and security. Cryptographic and communication measures of the performance of the system are established. The performance of the system for codewords of length 1024 is reported. A method is described for making the integrated system adaptive to changes in channel conditions
