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.
