SP characteristics
This master's programme focuses on deeper knowledge of various mathematical disciplines and their algorithmic aspects. The student can specialize either in Mathematics for Information Security or in Computer Geometry.
Mathematics for Information Security focuses on deepening theoretical knowledge of number theory, probability theory, theory of boolean functions, complexity theory, theory of elliptic curves, and computer algebra applied to some of these subjects. Attention is also given to practical aspects such as internet security, standards in cryptography, and legal aspects of data security.
Computer Geometry deepens theoretical knowledge in various algebraic and geometric subjects together with their applications in geometry of computer vision and robotics, computer graphics and image processing, optimization methods, and relevant applications numerical linear algebra.

Graduate profile for the public:
Graduates have a broad knowledge of advanced algebra, geometry and logic, and their applications in IT, and can apply it to solve advanced problems of mathematical information security and computer geometry. Graduates specializing in Mathematics for Information Security are well-acquainted with both present and prospective systems of data security and encryption, including their mathematical principles, practical applications and standards. The mathematical knowledge covers the theoretical background of cryptography in full breadth (number theory, complexity of algorithms, elliptic curves, lattices, one-way functions). Graduates also understand the structure of cryptographic protocols and are aware of basic legal aspects of data security. Graduates specializing in Computer Geometry have a deep knowledge of algebra and geometry, subjects that are applied in information technologies processing geometric information and data.
The graduates are well-prepared for various jobs in information technologies where understanding and processing new knowledge and big data is needed. They are also prepared for an academic career.
