Combinatorial properties for traceability codes using error correcting codes

Abstract

In this correspondence, the combinatorial properties of traceability codes constructed from error-correcting codes are studied. Necessary and sufficient conditions for traceability codes constructed from maximum-distance separable (MDS) codes are provided. The known sufficient conditions for a traceability code are proven to be also necessary for linear MDS codes.
