Golay code name is taken after the Marcel J.E. Golay who introduced the Golay code in 1949 paper and it is considered as the best single published page in coding theory by E. R. Berlekamp. A binary Golay code is used in digital communication. In mathematics and electronics engineering, it is a linear error-correcting code. It has a very fine connection with the theory of finite sporadic groups.

There are two versions of Golay codes which are enlisted below:

  1. Binary Golay code version.
  2. Ternary Golay codes version.
