In addition to communications, the KV algorithm could be used to improve the performance of CD players and the many computer hard drives that use Reed-Solomon encoding. It will be interesting to see ...

The redundant information, in the form of extra bases placed over 4,991 short sequences according to the Reed-Solomon algorithm, provided the basis for error-correction when the DNA was read and ...

The most famous examples of locally correctable codes are versions of a venerable error-correcting code invented in 1954 by the mathematicians David Muller and Irving Reed (who also helped develop ...

Backblaze has open-sourced a key component of its Backblaze Vault file system design: The Reed-Solomon implementation (done, in this case, in Java).

FEC is based on error-correcting codes written by Reed-Solomon and is now known as Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction (RS-FEC). The IEEE 802.3 standard has since defined different RS-FEC modes ...

They decided to use Reed-Solomon codes, which have been utilized in error-correction for many storage formats from CDs to QR codes to satellite communication.

Code-based cryptography is a promising branch of post-quantum cryptography that exploits the inherent complexity of decoding linear error-correcting codes. Traditional schemes, such as the ...

The article, by Ralf Koetter, a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and Alexander Vardy, a professor at the University of California, San Diego was titled, "Algebraic ...

Now, Backblaze is opening up another facet of its operation -- the implementation of its Reed-Solomon error-correcting codes (Opens in a new window).
