Cryptography: Boolean functions and related problems
Offered By: Novosibirsk State University via Coursera
Course Description
Overview
The course invites you to learn more about cryptography; you'll learn some important math which stands behind the ciphers, and defines how resistant the particular cipher will be to different types of attacks.
The key topics covered in the course:
* how cryptography developed in Russia and in the Soviet Union, including the facts which used to be top secret until very recent times;
* Boolean functions and S-boxes, and how the resistance of a cipher depends on a cryptographic properties of a Boolean function;
* methods of cryptanalysis
* some special and most intriguing types of cryptographic Boolean functions: bent functions and APN-functions (Almost Perfect Nonlinear Functions)
* AI and ML for cryptography.
Welcome to the course, and enjoy your learning!
