Error Correction Code

Definition

An Error Correction Code is a system that enables the detection and correction of errors that occur during data transmission or storage. In digital asset systems, these codes are crucial for maintaining the integrity of blockchain data, transaction records, and cryptographic keys. By adding redundant information, ECC allows for the reconstruction of original data even if some parts become corrupted. This technology is fundamental to ensuring the reliability and durability of digital information.
