Unambiguous Encapsulation

Explore a comprehensive IEEE conference talk on Unambiguous Encapsulation, presented by Michael Ossmann and Dominic Spill at the 2015 LangSec Workshop. Delve into the innovative use of forward error correcting codes for data encapsulation while maintaining error resilience. Discover three classes of codes that provide encapsulation with varying capabilities for communication technologies. Learn about the exhaustive search conducted using cloud computing resources to find suitable codes. Examine the implementation of [7,4,3] Hamming Code, Isolated Complementary Binary Block Codes (ICBBC), Isolated Complementary Non-Binary Block Codes (ICNBC), and Large Complementary Binary Block Codes (LCBBC). Gain insights into future expansions of this work, including additional code classes and alternative methods for generating error correcting codes with encapsulation properties. Understand the potential applications of this technology in addressing packet-in-packet problems and buffer overflow issues in communication and data storage design.
