Mathematics for Algebraic Coding Theory and Cryptography
This special issue belongs to the section "A: Algebra and Logic".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, "Mathematics for Algebraic Coding Theory and Cryptography", is dedicated to highlighting cutting-edge research in two fundamental areas of modern information security and data integrity: algebraic coding theory and cryptography. These fields are essential for developing secure, efficient, and reliable systems for communication and data protection.
Algebraic coding theory, which provides techniques to detect and correct errors in data transmission, is essential for digital communications, from satellite and cellular systems to storage devices. Cryptography, meanwhile, maintains the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data across various applications, including secure messaging, e-commerce, blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, healthcare, and telecommunication networks.
This issue will feature both theoretical developments and practical applications, showcasing innovations in cryptographic protocols, error-correcting codes, and secure algorithms. By bringing together contributions from leading experts, this collection aims to reflect the latest advancements in these areas, offering a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and students interested in the mathematical foundations and future directions of coding theory and cryptography.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
