Linear block and cyclic codes can be used for both two error detection and single error correction. These codes add redundant bits to detect errors during transmission by using techniques like parity checks and cyclic redundancy checks (CRC). CRC is more powerful than parity checks as it is based on binary division rather than just addition. Cyclic codes have advantages like good performance detecting single and odd number of bit errors and ease of hardware implementation, making them suitable for error detection and correction in networks.
