"This book is a treatise for coding theorists interested in algebraic foundations, working cryptologists and researchers looking for applications of pure mathematics. The authors explain properties of special rings like local rings, Galois rings, chain rings, Frobenius rings and skew polynomial rings, which frequently occur in applications. They also discuss several bounds (such as the sphere-packing bound, a Plotkin-like bound, a Singleton-like bound) for codes over rings with respect to various metrics." --Mathematical Reviews Clippings

"The authors point out how the subject is related to other fields e.g. combinatorics, number theory and ring theory. The book is very useful for references and can be also be used for the serious study of the subject. Ring theorists principally at PhD and research level, coding theorist interested in applications (computer scientists and cryptologists) could appreciate the collection and arrangement of research content of more than 250 references." --Zentralblatt MATH
