Eduational activity

Teaches courses:

  • introduction to the specialty
  • information security in information and communication systems

Research activities

Research interests:

  • symmetric transformations
  • cryptographic protocols for decentralized distributed systems
  • blockchain technologies and distributed decentralized technologies
