This paper considers the problem of simultaneously communicating two messages, a high-security message and a low-security message, to a legitimate receiver, referred to as the security embedding problem. An information-theoretic formulation of the problem is presented. A coding scheme that combines rate splitting, superposition coding, nested binning and channel prefixing is considered and is shown to achieve the secrecy capacity region of the channel in several scenarios. Specifying these results to both scalar and independent parallel Gaussian channels (under an average individual per-subchannel power constraint), it is shown that the high-security message can be embedded into the low-security message at full rate (as if the low-security message does not exist) without incurring any loss on the overall rate of communication (as if both messages are low-security messages). Extensions to the wiretap channel II setting of Ozarow and Wyner are also considered, where it is shown that perfect security embedding can be achieved by an encoder that uses a two-level coset code.

We obtain a characterization on self-orthogonality for a given binary linear code in terms of the number of column vectors in its generator matrix, which extends the result of Bouyukliev et al. (2006). As an application, we give an algorithmic method to embed a given binary $k$-dimensional linear code $mathcal{C}$ ($k = 2,3,4$) into a self-orthogonal code of the shortest length which has the same dimension $k$ and minimum distance $d ge d(mathcal{C})$. For $k > 4$, we suggest a recursive method to embed a $k$-dimensional linear code to a self-orthogonal code. We also give new explicit formulas for the minimum distances of optimal self-orthogonal codes for any length $n$ with dimension 4 and any length $n otequiv 6,13,14,21,22,28,29 pmod{31}$ with dimension 5. We determine the exact optimal minimum distances of $[n,4]$ self-orthogonal codes which were left open by Li-Xu-Zhao (2008) when $n equiv 0,3,4,5,10,11,12 pmod{15}$. Then, using MAGMA, we observe that our embedding sends an optimal linear code to an optimal self-orthogonal code.
An $(a,b,tau)$ streaming code is a packet-level erasure code that can recover under a strict delay constraint of $tau$ time units, from either a burst of $b$ erasures or else of $a$ random erasures, occurring within a sliding window of time duration $w$. While rate-optimal constructions of such streaming codes are available for all parameters ${a,b,tau,w}$ in the literature, they require in most instances, a quadratic, $O(tau^2)$ field size. In this work, we make further progress towards field size reduction and present rate-optimal $O(tau)$ field size streaming codes for two regimes: (i) $gcd(b,tau+1-a)ge a$ (ii) $tau+1 ge a+b$ and $b mod a in {0,a-1}$.
The list-decodable code has been an active topic in theoretical computer science since the seminal papers of M. Sudan and V. Guruswami in 1997-1998. There are general result about the Johnson radius and the list-decoding capacity theorem for random codes. However few results about general constraints on rates, list-decodable radius and list sizes for list-decodable codes have been obtained. In this paper we show that rates, list-decodable radius and list sizes are closely related to the classical topic of covering codes. We prove new simple but strong upper bounds for list-decodable codes based on various covering codes. Then any good upper bound on the covering radius imply a good upper bound on the size of list-decodable codes. Hence the list-decodablity of codes is a strong constraint from the view of covering codes. Our covering code upper bounds for $(d,1)$ list decodable codes give highly non-trivial upper bounds on the sizes of codes with the given minimum Hamming distances. Our results give exponential improvements on the recent generalized Singleton upper bound of Shangguan and Tamo in STOC 2020, when the code lengths are very large. The asymptotic forms of covering code bounds can partially recover the list-decoding capacity theorem, the Blinovsky bound and the combinatorial bound of Guruswami-H{aa}stad-Sudan-Zuckerman. We also suggest to study the combinatorial covering list-decodable codes as a natural generalization of combinatorial list-decodable codes.
Streaming codes represent a packet-level FEC scheme for achieving reliable, low-latency communication. In the literature on streaming codes, the commonly-assumed Gilbert-Elliott channel model, is replaced by a more tractable, delay-constrained, sliding-window (DCSW) channel model that can introduce either random or burst erasures. The known streaming codes that are rate optimal over the DCSW channel model are constructed by diagonally embedding a scalar block code across successive packets. These code constructions have field size that is quadratic in the delay parameter $tau$ and have a somewhat complex structure with an involved decoding procedure. This led to the introduction of simple streaming (SS) codes in which diagonal embedding is replaced by staggered-diagonal embedding (SDE). The SDE approach reduces the impact of a burst of erasures and makes it possible to construct near-rate-optimal streaming codes using Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) code having linear field size. The present paper takes this development one step further, by retaining the staggered-diagonal feature, but permitting the placement of more than one code symbol from a given scalar codeword within each packet. These generalized, simple streaming codes allow us to improve upon the rate of SS codes, while retaining the simplicity of working with MDS codes. We characterize the maximum code rate of streaming codes under a constraint on the number of contiguous packets over which symbols of the underlying scalar code are dispersed. Such a constraint leads to simplified code construction and reduced-complexity decoding.
The famous Barnes-Wall lattices can be obtained by applying Construction D to a chain of Reed-Muller codes. By applying Construction ${{D}}^{{(cyc)}}$ to a chain of extended cyclic codes sandwiched between Reed-Muller codes, Hu and Nebe (J. London Math. Soc. (2) 101 (2020) 1068-1089) constructed new series of universally strongly perfect lattices sandwiched between Barnes-Wall lattices. In this paper, we explicitly determine the minimum weight codewords of those codes for some special cases.
