What a poorly worded title. For those browsing, this is referring to error codes and the like.

If you're not familiar with information theory, hamming codes, data compression, and the like, the title might be misread as "decryption." Sorry, nothing to do with breaking ciphers.

The article is about a new chip that can efficiently process lossless coding across different transmission algorithms.
