1. A method for error correction in a computing device, the method comprising:
carrying out a syndrome calculation on a coded data word, with a matrix M derived from a check matrix H of a code used to code the coded data word,
transforming the result of the syndrome calculation by means of a linear mapping, in response to the result of the syndrome calculation revealing that the data word is erroneous,
determining an error vector on the basis of the result of the linear mapping by means of an error correction algorithm, and
correcting the erroneous data word on the basis of the error vector.
