  2. Caesar cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_cipher

    Caesar ciphers can be found today in children's toys such as secret decoder rings. A Caesar shift of thirteen is also performed in the ROT13 algorithm, a simple method of obfuscating text widely found on Usenet and used to obscure text (such as joke punchlines and story spoilers), but not seriously used as a method of encryption.

  4. Binary-to-text encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-to-text_encoding

    A binary-to-text encoding is encoding of data in plain text.More precisely, it is an encoding of binary data in a sequence of printable characters.These encodings are necessary for transmission of data when the communication channel does not allow binary data (such as email or NNTP) or is not 8-bit clean.

    A file signature is data used to identify or verify the content of a file. Such signatures are also known as magic numbers or magic bytes.. Many file formats are not intended to be read as text.

    Various proprietary modifications and extensions of ASCII appeared on non-EBCDIC mainframe computers and minicomputers, especially in universities.Hewlett-Packard started to add European characters to their extended 7-bit / 8-bit ASCII character set HP Roman Extension around 1978/1979 for use with their workstations, terminals and printers.

  8. Generalized minimum-distance decoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_minimum...

    Consider the received word = (, …,) [] which was corrupted by a noisy channel.The following is the algorithm description for the general case. In this algorithm, we can decode y by just declaring an erasure at every bad position and running the errors and erasure decoding algorithm for on the resulting vector.
