M.Ing. (Electric and Electrical Engineering) / From the day the first 'apple' was eaten, a species of people existed that wants to misuse other people, This species is normally the first to use new technology to their advantage. It is essential for our own security to restrict the boundaries of their playing-field and to fill the field it self with potholes. This however should be a continuous process, for their dexterity tends to evolveas fast as new techniques are mastered. Firstly this thesis entails the analysis of the boundaries of the playing field of authentication systems without security. The boundaries of authentication systems with security is established with a unique technique. Concluding the first part of the thesis, a new method of code designing for this playing-field is proposed. Reordering the potholes on the playing-field is the subject of the second part of the thesis. Anew public key system is described for this purpose. A novel implementation of insertion/deletion error correcting codes is presented in this new system. To conclude the thesis, a thorough analysis of this public key system is presented.
