Abstract

We give new combinatorial constructions for codes providing authentication and secrecy for equiprobable source probability distributions. In particular, we construct an infinite class of optimal authentication codes which are multiple-fold secure against spoofing and simultaneously achieve perfect secrecy. Several further new optimal codes satisfying these properties will also be constructed and presented in general tables. Almost all of these appear to be the first authentication codes with these properties.
