Course Overview

The Cryptography: Boolean functions and related problems online course is offered by the Novosibirsk State University in the online educational platform Coursera. The course instruction of this online programme is for five hours and is scheduled for five weeks. It is led by the course educators, Kutensko Aleksandr(Researcher), Anastasiya Gorodilova(Senior Lecturer), Natalia Tokareva(Associate Professor), Stjepan Picek(Assistant Professor), George Pintus(Researcher).

The Online training helps the learners gain advanced knowledge about cryptography and the algorithm skills associated with it. It provides the opportunity to understand the boolean functions of cryptography. The expert guidance from the educators and feedback from the peers during discussions will enable the students to gain an enhanced skill set of Cryptography. This advanced-level course provides the benefit of earning a course certificate that can be shared for a reference to your knowledge of cryptography. The videos, readings, and practice exercises in the course training help the students get a wholesome learning experience.

What you will learn

Mathematical skillKnowledge of AlgorithmsKnowledge of Cyber SecurityKnowledge of Cryptography

This Cryptography: Boolean functions and related problems online certification course will let the candidates learn about the techniques involved in cryptography in detail. It helps them understand its development in Russia and the Soviet Union. The candidates will gain knowledge about the boolean functions and S-Boxes and the nature of resistance of a particular cipher tends to be based on the boolean function. The students of this online programme get to learn about the methods involved in cryptanalysis and the two significant types of boolean functions called the Bent function and the Almost Perfect Nonlinear(APN) function. The course familiarises the trainees with the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning(ML) of cryptography.

Who it is for

The Cryptography: Boolean functions and related problems online certification course will benefit those interested in knowing about cryptography in detail and the maths used in the ciphers while understanding the essence of the defence system against the potential threats.
