Designs Codes and Cryptography

期刊简介：Designs, Codes and Cryptography is an archival peer-reviewed technical journal publishing original research papers in the designated areas. There is a great deal of activity in design theory, coding theory and cryptography, including a substantial amount of research which brings together more than one of the subjects. While many journals exist for each of the individual areas, few encourage the interaction of the disciplines.The journal was founded to meet the needs of mathematicians, engineers and computer scientists working in these areas, whose interests extend beyond the bounds of any one of the individual disciplines. The journal provides a forum for high quality research in its three areas, with papers touching more than one of the areas especially welcome.The journal also considers high quality submissions in the closely related areas of finite fields and finite geometries, which provide important tools for both the construction and the actual application of designs, codes and cryptographic systems. In particular, it includes (mostly theoretical) papers on computational aspects of finite fields. It also considers topics in sequence design, which frequently admit equivalent formulations in the journal’s main areas.Designs, Codes and Cryptography is mathematically oriented, emphasizing the algebraic and geometric aspects of the areas it covers. The journal considers high quality papers of both a theoretical and a practical nature, provided they contain a substantial amount of mathematics.

【译文】设计、编码与密码学是一本存档同行评审的技术期刊，专注于在指定领域发表原创研究论文。设计理论、编码理论和密码学领域活动丰富，包括大量将多个学科结合在一起的研究。虽然每个领域都有许多期刊，但很少有期刊鼓励学科之间的互动。该期刊的成立是为了满足在这些领域工作的数学家、工程师和计算机科学家们的需求，他们的兴趣超越了任何单一学科的范围。该期刊为其三个领域提供高质量研究论坛，特别欢迎涉及多个领域的论文。该期刊还考虑与有限域和有限几何学密切相关的高质量投稿，这些领域为设计、编码和密码系统的构建及其实际应用提供了重要工具。特别是，它包括（主要是理论性的）关于有限域计算方面的论文。它还考虑序列设计等主题，这些主题通常在期刊的主要领域中有等效的表述。设计、编码与密码学期刊以数学为导向，强调其覆盖领域的代数和几何方面。该期刊考虑理论性和实践性高质量论文，只要它们包含大量数学内容。
