IT Space Seminar: Noncommutative Cryptography

💁‍♂️ Noncommutative cryptography is a branch of cryptography that is based on mathematical objects where the order of operations is important. Unlike classical methods, its security can rely on complex tasks in such structures, for example, on the problem of conjugacy in groups. There are still no algorithms for quantum computers for some of these tasks. Therefore, such systems are considered promising candidates for post-quantum cryptography.

🔍 Topics covered:

▪️ Copresentations as a language for describing non-Abelian groups;
▪️ Den's problems and their applications in cryptography;
▪️ Application of algebraic topology methods;
▪️ Main protocols of noncommutative cryptography: Ko–Lee, Anshel–Anshel–Goldfeld, Stickel.

🧑‍🎓 Perfect for:

▪️Amateurs and professionals in the field of cryptography and mathematics
▪️Students who are familiar with the concepts of groups, homomorphism of groups, algebraic topology and category theory (the necessary concepts will be explained)
