Abstract :
This paper introduces a new construct, called the Noise Tolerant Message Authentication Code (NTMAC), for noisy message authentication. The NTMAC can tolerate a small number of errors, such as might be caused by a noisy communications channel. The NTMAC uses a conventional Message Authentication Code (MAC) in its constructions and it inherits the conventional MAC´s resistance to forgeries. Furthermore, the NTMAC gives an indication of the number and locations of the errors.
