A new chip for decoding data transmissions demonstrates record-breaking energy efficiency

Online banks rely on encryption to protect data from being viewed and tampered with during transmission. While encryption keeps the data secure, it doesn’t protect against errors induced by noise. That’s where error-correcting codes (ECCs) come in. Have you ever used an online banking app to deposit money into your account? If you have, then you know how convenient and efficient it is. But what you may not know is the tremendous amount of effort that goes into making sure the data is secure and accurate during transmission. Without proper safeguards, your banking information could be corrupted by noise and you could potentially send the wrong amount of money to the wrong account. Fortunately, error-correcting codes (ECCs) are in place to keep this from happening. Error-Correcting Codes (ECCs) and How They Keep Your Bank Data Secure ECCs, also known as forward error correction (FEC), are mathematical formulas that help detect and correct errors that can occur during data transmission and storage. They work by adding extra bits (called parity bits) to the data that are generated using a specific algorithm. During transmission, the receiving device compares the checksum value generated from the parity bits with the data that it receives, and if there’s a discrepancy between the two, the data is dropped, preventing the erroneous information from being entered into the database. When you think about it, encrypted online banking transactions are actually vulnerable to noise-induced errors. That’s why ECCs are used in addition to encryption to protect data from being viewed and tampered with during transmission. As an example, let’s say you’re using an online banking app to send money from one account to another. Without ECCs, noise in the transmission line could induce an error causing you to send the wrong amount of money to the wrong account. But with ECCs in place, any discrepancy between the parity bits and the data will be detected and the erroneous information will be discarded, making sure the right amount of money goes to the right account. Data Storage and ECCs ECCs are not only used for transmission but also for error detection and correction in data storage. Since hard drives and other storage mediums are susceptible to errors due to noise, ECCs can help detect and correct any errors that occur. With ECCs in place, data can be read back accurately and reliably, even if it has become corrupted due to noise. Conclusion Error-correcting codes (ECCs) are mathematical formulas that help detect and correct errors in data transmission. Encryption is used to secure data from being viewed and tampered with during transmission, but it cannot protect against errors induced by noise. That’s why ECCs are used in addition to encryption to make sure that the data being transmitted is secure and accurate. ECCs are also used for error detection and correction in data storage. With ECCs in place, data can be reliably read back even if it has been corrupted due to noise. All of this goes to show that ECCs are essential for ensuring the accuracy and security of online banking transactions.
