This is a dirty implemenation of Golay correcting code using python. This is a solution to 18.13 problem 1 from Trappe and Washington’s Crytography book. To run this, you need bash, python, and the numpy libraries. To run, run golay.sh. The algorithm is located in golay.py

For some people in my class this was easy, and others it was difficult. Some people have spent a good 40 hours on this, so I thought I’d post some code to help out. There isn’t much documentation on the crypto modules.
