Using parallel processing to calculate and improve code equivocation

Equivocation gives a measure of the average level of ambiguity of a received signal and the level of security that a code can offer. The development of a software solution using GPU parallel processing enables the equivocation values for longer length codes to be calculated more efficiently than software solutions that rely solely upon linear methods. Normalised equivocation values for various codes and their expansions are compared and inferences drawn about their relative security.
