Cryptography (the science of secret writing) and coding theory (concerned with information integrity) are closely related disciplines which have evolved rapidly in the last 10-15 years. These conference proceedings cover both topics.

Cryptography and coding theory are both rapidly evolving areas involving the application of discrete mathematics to problems in computing and electronic engineering. Such is the close relationship between both the underlying mathematics and the application domains that a joint international conference was organized in late 1986. This book contains the papers presented at the second conference in what has become an ongoing series.
