X Symposium "Current Trends in Cryptography" is held annually and is organized by the Academy of Cryptography of the Russian Federation, Steklov Mathematical Institute and the Technical Committee for Standardization "Cryptographic protection of information" (TC 26). This year the symposium was dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Cryptographic Service of the Russian Federation, see . To participate in it, NSU teachers
Alexander Kutsenko,
Alexander Shaporenko and student
Natalia Atutova visited Moscow.
The staff of the center took part in the work of sections and a round table, made presentations on the topics of their scientific research.
The symposium brought together representatives of regulators, government corporations, companies that develop cryptographic information security tools, Russian and foreign experts in the field of cryptography. The invited speakers included renowned cryptography and computer security experts
Jean-Hugo Kravchik and
Christophe Deneuville. Their reports were devoted to the modern challenges of blockchain technology, as well as the current direction of post-quantum cryptography.
At the plenary session dedicated to the centenary of the Cryptographic Service of the Russian Federation and the tenth anniversary of the symposium, a number of Russian scientists in the field of information security were awarded with jubilee signs "100 years of the Cryptographic Service of the Russian Federation" for their many years of work and great contribution to the development of domestic cryptography.
Traditionally, the topics of the symposium include the following questions:
- Research of cryptographic algorithms and protocols, including those that are international standards
- Effective implementation of methods for analyzing cryptographic algorithms and protocols
- Assessment of the cryptographic strength of Russian cryptographic algorithms and protocols
- Effective implementation of Russian cryptographic algorithms and protocols
- Mathematical aspects of cryptography
- Cryptography on the Internet of Things
- Quantum cryptography and quantum computing
- Post-quantum cryptography
- Cryptography and blockchain technology
- Cryptographic protection of biometric data
- Other relevant and promising areas of cryptography
