He had invented a code for correcting errors in communication and the Hamming code was born. CIO Blast from the Past takes a journey through 60 years of information theory and discovers how the ...

Many error-correcting codes (ECCs) are proposed in the industry’s literature for correcting bit errors present in the received data. We will discuss Hamming codes that are used to correct ...

Many types of error-correcting techniques exist, but in data communications, Hamming encoding probably finds the widest use. Unlike serial-port communications that use a single parity bit, Hamming ...

Redundant information Error-correcting codes have been around for more than 50 years. They were introduced by Richard Hamming at Bell Labs.

While working for Bell Labs, he developed Hamming codes — the parent of a class of codes that detect, and sometimes correct, errors in everything from error-correcting memory to hard drives.

SEC-DED: Single Error Correction-Double Error Detection codes, which can correct single-bit errors while detecting double-bit errors.
