Note: Domestic journal scores are officially collected from annual HĐGSNN decisions across councils. International journal scores are dynamically computed according to Decision 26/QĐ-HĐGSNN based on quartile and citation metrics in the publication year.

Aims & Scope

The scope of the journal focuses on discrete structures used in stream and block ciphers in symmetric cryptography; code division multiple access in communications; and random number generation for statistics, cryptography and numerical methods. In particular, papers covering Boolean functions and sequences, without excluding any other discrete structure used in cryptography and communications, such as finite fields and other algebraic structures, are strongly encouraged.
