        ON THE ISSUE OF THE BLOCKCHAIN UNIVERSALITY

        Annotation:

        Currently, there is a tendency to over-promote the phenomenon of blockchain technology (BC), which is supposedly universal and has all-pervasive possibilities for revolutionary transformation of the various areas of social activity, including business and state governance. As an example, the relatively successful development of the so-called cryptocurrencies, which have already won a certain share of public relations at both the national and global levels, is given. The presence of such mass statements is explained by the fact that the description of the obvious advantages of the BС is carried out without a detailed and comprehensive risk analysis of the practical implementation of its basic concepts, including information security of the appropriate applications. The proposed work shows methods for ensuring a consensus between fundamentally distrustful users, who ensure the relative stability of cryptocurrency systems even in the absence of a centralized (state and, moreover, international) level of regulation. An appropriate classification of systems based on the BC and their features are given. Along with this, this paper focuses on the need for a thorough and comprehensive analysis of the information security risks associated with the BC use. It is shown that at the present stage of the BC systems development, they do not provide reliable user authentication, reliable system management, guarantees of secure generation, distribution and storage of cryptographic keys, guaranteed possibility of returning the values stolen by hackers, and also do not implement the principle of non-repudiation. The conclusion is made about the expediency of its further comprehensive application, based on the fact that the BC unreasonable use can cause considerable damage at the level of the whole sector of the economy. This article is a continuation of publications about the properties and features of blockchain technology.

        SPECIAL ELEMENTS OF SYSTEM ANALYSIS FOR STUDENTS OF THE INFORMATION SECURITY

        Annotation:

        The main purpose of the article is to present the necessary elements of system analysis necessary for training future university specialists in the field of information security for example, applied information (computer) technologies. The main focus is on the effectiveness of the system, which can be assessed using indicators expressed in posynomials. The indicator is represented by a posynomial. Then apply well-developed tools to minimize posynomial. We used the necessary principles and methods of system analysis, as well as geometric programming. In this case, geometric programming is considered as a tool for solving problems of system analysis in the field of information security. The result of the optimization of the information security effectiveness indicator is presented on a training example while minimizing the posynomial. The students learn the system analysis elements. Students solve optimization problems. Recommendations were developed for solving typical educational problems for students. In conclusion, it is concluded that it is necessary to pay more attention in the framework of the educational process to the elements of system analysis.

        CYBERSECURITY OF DIGITAL MANUFACTURING USING MODERN NEURAL NETWORK METHODS

        Annotation:

        The transition from the information economy to the digital presents new challenges to the community related to the development of breakthrough technologies, a network of cyber-physical systems, artificial intelligence, and big data. When creating digital platforms, a number of difficulties arise: the large dimension of the digital infrastructure and its heterogeneity, poorly established information interaction between the segments, the lack of a common approach to ensuring cybersecurity and high dependence on personnel qualification and reliability of equipment. The introduction of the digital economy leads to an increase in the risk of cyber threats associated with problems of access control between systems, regulation of information and control flows. For solving cyber threat detection tasks it is proposed to use generative adversarial neural networks. Training and testing algorithms of the neural network are provided. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed solution is highly accurate in detecting cyberattacks.

        ISOGENY-BASED CRYPTOGRAPHIC ACCESS CONTROL SCHEME

        Annotation:

        Cryptographic access control is a relatively new concept that implements the rules for restricting the access of some entities to an object using cryptographic primitives. With the advent of a quantum computer, the discrete logarithm and factorization problems, which are used in public key cryptosystems, can be solved in polynomial time. In this regard, there is a need to search for new mathematical problems that are resistant to attacks on both classical and quantum computers. One of the promising problems is to compute the isogeny of supersingular elliptic curves. The article proposed cryptographic access control scheme based on isogeny, an analysis of protocol security and the results of practical implementation in SAGE.

        METHODICAL APPROACH TO CONSTRUCTION OF MODELS OF FORECASTING OF INDICATORS OF PROPERTIES OF INFORMATION SECURITY SYSTEMS

        Annotation:

        A methodological approach to the construction of models for predicting the properties of information security systems at the evolutionary stages of development is proposed. The approach is based on the representation of the development of information security systems as a process of change in the permissible range of indicators characterizing their properties. It is assumed that the amount of resources spent on improving each property, the greater the closer the current value of the indicator characterizing this property to the maximum possible value for the considered information security system. This circumstance is taken into account by reducing the relative rates of improvement of indicators as they approach their values to the maximum possible.
