Aims & Scope

Designs, Codes and Cryptography is an archival peer-reviewed technical journal publishing original research papers in the designated areas: design theory, coding theory and cryptography. 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. Encourages interaction between the disciplines of design theory, coding theory and cryptography. Emphasizes the algebraic and geometric aspects of these fields. Welcomes submissions in related areas of finite fields and finite geometries.
