Codes Correcting Key Errors

The objective of coding theory is to protect a message going through a noisychannel. The nature of errors that cause noisy channel depends on different factors.Accordingly codes are needed to develop to deal with different types of errors. Sharmaand Gaur [6] introduced a new kind of error which is termed as ‘key error’. This paperpresents lower and upper bounds on the number of parity-check digits required for linearcodes capable of correcting such errors. An example of such a code is also provided
