Abstract
In this letter, we show that the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cryptosystem can be utilized as an error-correcting code to obtain reliability over noisy communication and data systems. Specifically, we show that by composing a simple padding followed by encrypting with AES, we can achieve error-correcting performance similar to random codes. We conduct an empirical comparison between our AES-based error correction approach, Random Linear Codes, and CA-Polar codes to assess their performance in practical scenarios. Our results show that the AES-based approach achieves nearly identical performance to the other well-established error-correcting codes.
