ON DECODING ALGORITHMS FOR GENERALIZED REED — SOLOMON CODES WITH ERRORS AND ERASURES

The article is devoted to the decoding algorithms for generalized Reed Solomon codes with errorsand erasures. These algorithms are based on Gao algorithm, Sugiyama algorithm, Berlekamp Massey algorithm (Peterson Gorenstein Zierler algorithm). The first of these algorithms belongs to syndrome-free decoding algorithms, the others to syndrome decoding algorithms. The relevance of these algorithms is that they are applicable for decoding Goppa codes, which are the basis of some promising post-quantum cryptosystems. These algorithms are applicable for Goppa codes over an arbitrary field, as opposed to the well-known Patterson decoding algorithm for binary Goppa codes.
