The 21st International Conference "Siberian Scientific School-Seminar "Computer Security and Cryptography" named after Gennady Petrovich Agibalov was held in Krasnoyarsk from September 5 to 10.
This year the conference was held on the basis of the Siberian State University of Science and Technology named after Academician M.F. Reshetnev with the support of the International Mathematical Center in Akademgorodok, Tomsk State University, the Northwest Center for Mathematical Research named after. Sofia Kovalevskaya. The organizers include the Institute of Cryptography, Communications and Informatics of the FSB Academy, the Academy of Cryptography of the Russian Federation, Moscow State University.
The delegation from Novosibirsk included 13 students and teachers of NSU, who are employees of the Mathematical Center in Akademgorodok. The members of the delegation presented 8 sectional reports on the properties of cryptographic discrete functions and new methods of analyzing cryptographic algorithms. In total, about 50 cryptography and information security specialists from Moscow, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Krasnoyarsk, Barnaul, Irkutsk, Saratov, Rostov-on-Don took part in the conference.
Alexander Bakharev , an employee of the Mathematical Center in Akademgorodok, a 1st-year master's student of the MMF NSU, became the winner of the youth reports competition. His work "Development and comparison of quantum oracle models for hybrid attack on post–quantum cryptosystems based on lattices" is devoted to an extremely relevant direction today - post-quantum cryptography.

Novosibirsk Cryptographic Center has launched a large-scale professional retraining program "Cryptography and Information Security" at NSU. For 9 months, students from all over Russia and from abroad will take part in scientific and applied cryptographic developments under the leadership of a team of more than 25 specialists in science and industry. Lectures, workshops and seminars will cover a wide range of areas. At the end of the training, all participants of the program will receive state-issued diplomas.

— Scientific research in the field of cryptography is actively conducted abroad, but in Russia it is isolated due to the long closeness of the subject and the underdevelopment of the direction of civil cryptography. Thus, according to the "Infotex Training Center", every year several thousand graduates of the field of information security in Russian universities account for only a few dozen scientific publications, and dissertations in this field are extremely rare. And there are even fewer graduates who own such modern technologies as, for example, quantum cryptography – only 15-20 people a year. We consistently train graduates in the field of cryptography at NSU who have scientific results and publications in highly rated journals, — said the head of the retraining program Natalia Tokareva.

The first stage of training is Summer School, organized by the Novosibirsk Cryptographic Center, the International Mathematical Center in Akademgorodok, the organizing committee of the NSUCRYPTO Olympiad, as well as representatives of FIT and MMF NSU. Students from Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Moscow, Krasnoyarsk, Taganrog and Kaliningrad who have come to study are waiting for lectures, team and individual work in projects. More details here.

The Cryptographic Center (Novosibirsk) launches a large-scale professional retraining program "Cryptography and Information Security", which starts on June 27, 2022 and will last 9 months. As a result of completing the program (250 hours of lectures, project and practical work), you will receive a state diploma. Waiting for you:
* lectures from Russian and foreign experts in the field of cryptography from science and industry
* scientific and practical research in this field
* participation in the international cryptography Olympiad with preliminary preparation
The Cryptographic Center organizing this program is the only major scientific and educational group outside the Urals working in the field of cryptography. Full-time education (on the basis of Novosibirsk State University) and free of charge.
The registration period for the program has been extended until June 24, 2022. There are very few places left.

Summer School is the first stage of the professional retraining program in the field of cryptography! You have the opportunity to continue your research in this direction and receive a state diploma.

Students will receive lectures, team and individual work in projects related to solving research problems in the field of cryptography and information security, sports classes. One of the most important events of the school-conference is a round table on modern problems of cryptography. The topics of the projects are related to various issues of modern cryptography and information security: from the development of modern methods of cryptanalysis, the construction of ciphers, quantum cryptography to the creation of open-source analytical intelligence systems.
