The 11th International Cryptography Olympiad was held from October 13 to 21. The largest event in the field of information security took place with the active participation of Cryptographic Center of NSU.
— Interest in cryptography is constantly growing. On our part, as the main organizers of the Olympiad, this is facilitated by holding summer schools on cryptography and information security in different cities of Russia, actively involving new co-organizers and partners. This year we are noting a record number of participants, which is very pleasing, — comments the chairperson of the Olympiad Program Committee, Associate Professor of NSU Natalia Tokareva.
During the week, the participants worked on solving fourteen diverse problems. Their topics included cryptographic protocols and algorithms, post-quantum cryptography, steganography, historical ciphers, and pseudo-random sequence generators.
Non-Stop University CRYPTO — the only international cryptography Olympiad that contains both academic tasks and unsolved scientific problems. Anyone from anywhere in the world can try their hand. The official language of the Olympiad is English.
Traditionally, after the results of the Olympiad are summed up, scientific articles are published with an analysis of the problems. Including unsolved ones that require further detailed research.
The organizers and partners of the Olympiad are the Cryptographic Center (Novosibirsk), the National Technological Center for Digital Cryptography, Novosibirsk State University, the North-West Center for Mathematical Research named after Sofia Kovalevskaya, the University of Leuven (Belgium), the companies Kryptonit and Aktiv, the Southern Federal University, the Belarusian State University, and Tomsk State University.
The official results of the Olympiad will be announced in November 2024.
