| Abstract | Asymmetric errors are observed in many communication channels or memory systems. Some non-volatile memory systems and optical media exhibit such error behavior in a unidirectional fashion. The lifetime of such units depends often on aging, and especially on the number of access cycles performed resulting with such unidirectional error behavior. In many applications, error correcting codes are not deployed in order to save redundancy, costs and complexity. However in many applications, there are security operations such as encryption or hash functions providing strict rules which can serve to detect and even correct errors. Error correcting codes use basically linear mappings, whereas crypto functions involve highly nonlinear confusion and diffusion randomizing functions. In this paper, some hash functions used for authentication are investigated to check experimentally their symmetric and especially unidirectional error correctability. Good hash functions and ciphers are designed to attain a high degree of pseudo-randomizing mappings. Our experimental results on such hash functions showed that, it is possible to efficiently correct a class of selected unidirectional errors by deploying a portion of the hash bits which are typically used solely for authentication. The proposed correction procedure is a hard decision trade-off operation which would improve the system-survivability by slightly reducing its authenticity level without changing the system configuration. This procedure allows a sort of best-effort salvation in some existing systems. The procedure simply modifies the corrupted data experimentally until the hash value becomes valid. This procedure may however turn out to become equivalent to a successful authentication attack. This is however less probable if only a part of the hash bits is deployed in the error correction procedure and if the corrected error-class is kept as small as possible. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
