Abstract: We consider the scientific and applied research work of Academician V.A. Kotelnikov in the pre-war and wartime periods (1932–1946) focused on the development and creation of encrypted telephone communication systems, the creation of cryptographically secure equipment based on research in the sampling of speech signals, and the development of a theory of potential noise immunity when transmitting information through noisy channels.
This review is based on the report presented at the Scientific Session of the Physical Sciences Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences (PSD RAS) “On the 80th Anniversary of the Great Victory: Contribution of Russian Physicists” on May 14, 2025 (see Physics–Uspekhi 68 (12) 1183 (2025); Uspekhi Fizicheskikh Nauk 195 (12) ii (2025)).
