      The goal A systematic explanation of the methods for design of the error control codes that can be described by using graphs will be presented. The corresponding iterative decoding methods will be explained also. Vulnerability of contemporary cryptographic algorithms to quantum computer cryptoanalysis and the application of error control coding in cryptology will be considered in more details.
      The outcome Provide students with the ability to design advanced error control coding algorithms, implement and test them in a standard programming languages. The estimation of security for modern cryptographic algorithms.
