Education and Career
1998 – graduated from the Kharkiv State Technical University of Radio Electronics, majoring in “Computer Intelligent Systems and Networks”, systems engineer
2001 – defended a candidate’s thesis on the specialty 05.13.21 – Information protection systems on the topic: “Investigation of the stability and conditions of application of block symmetric encryption algorithms”.
2014 – defended his doctoral dissertation in the field of symmetric cryptography with a specialty 05.13.05 – Computer systems and components on the topic: “Methods of analysis and synthesis of promising symmetric cryptographic transformations.”
From 2014 to the present – Professor of the Information Technology Security Department of the Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics (KHNURE).
His professional experience includes development of Ukrainian cryptographic standards: the Kalyna block cipher (DSTU 7624:2014) and the Kupyna hash function (DSTU 7564:2014).
As a professor, he gave lectures on software and network security, general crypto and cryptocurrencies in Ukraine, South Korea and Norway. He is also involved in training of Ukrainian cyberpolice officers.
His current projects focus on flexibility and security improvements of blockchain-based technologies.
