Particularly trellis coding and turbo coding coupled with steganography (Cryptography) has found to be quite interesting for security in transmission of information. This book is mainly intended to make the reader familiar with the fundamental concepts of probability theory, information theory and error control coding.The book Information theory and coding was first released in 2005. Before this a book with the same title was released in 2001 which was without probability theory. The first book by the author was titled "Probability, Information and Coding Theory" released in 1992 was more popular among students and teachers.
