The complexity of neutralization and the lack of a universal mitigation approach of speculative execution attacks allows potential malware to have an unauthorized access to data being processed by CPU. To provide the confidentiality of such data it`s processing should be transferred from CPU to a microprocessor operating in a trusted execution environment. Paper describes the approach of using Intel DAL technology, which allows to implement application in Intel ME subsystem, thus completely mitigate side channel speculative execution attacks.

Nowadays, the development of smart city concepts and cyber-physical systems is impossible without considering information security issues. In the conditions of limited computational resources, it is necessary to find a trade-off between the cryptographic strength of the encryption algorithm and its requirements. As part of the study, lightweight modifications of the AES symmetric block cipher are compared to identify the most balanced solution for ensuring the confidentiality of low-power devices communication. The comparison is made both in terms of theoretical indicators that determine cryptographic strength, and in terms of encryption and decryption time, depending on the size of the input data. The obtained results demonstrate that the Modified AES is the most balanced solution in relation to the specified requirements. It outperforms not only other modifications, but also the standard algorithm, improving the diffusion and confusion values by 5% and 30% respectively, and also reducing the average encryption/decryption time by one and a half times.

A method for identifying signals based on the results of electrocardiogram (ECG) processing performed based on wavelet technologies is considered. The use of digital technologies for processing and diagnostics of ECG signals using wavelet analysis can significantly improve the efficiency and quality of evaluation of pacemaker settings during implantation, as well as in the process of correction of functional modes, diagnostics, in order to eliminate postoperative complications, etc. Digital processing of complex cardiac signals at a qualitatively new level is an indispensable condition for radically improving the processing of the current values of the diagnosed parameters, the widespread use of digital tools for making informed and effective decisions in the field of medical care, as well as for information support of identification processes. A method of approximation is considered and an algorithm for analyzing ECG diagrams obtained during implantation and in the process of choosing the modes of functioning of pacemakers based on the wavelet, transform is given. The presence of high–frequency components and short-term pulses in the spectrum of ECG signals, the evaluation of which is practically impossible by the traditionally used methods of spectral analysis, determined the choice of a method for digitalizing the decomposition of signals into basic frequency rhythms for parametric evaluation of QRS complexes. The approximation method is based on the use of wavelet analysis, which allows deep investigation of such modes. Examples of the use of wavelet analysis for the approximation of ECG diagrams using cubic splines whose interpolation nodes are located on an uneven grid are given. Digital technologies are implemented using the tools of the MATLAB computing environment.

Improving the qualitative indicators of identifying the state of information security of individual cyber-physical systems segments is associated with the processing of large information arrays. A method of splitting data samples is proposed to improve the quality of algorithms for classifying information security states. Classification models are configured on training sets of examples in which outliers, noisy data, and an imbalance of observed objects may be present, which affects the qualitative indicators of the results. At certain points in time, under the influence of the external environment, the frequency of occurrence of observed events, the ranges of recorded values may change, which significantly affects the quality indicators. It is shown that a number of events in the samples occur as a result of the actions of internal and external factors.

The benefits of the latter strategy are assessed through choosing an architecture with the core of the IoT security maturity model as a hierarchy of security practices. Algorithms for ensuring cyber security and protection against threats are analysed.

The paper is devoted to developing a model capable of describing the process of functioning of large-scale systems with dynamic, adaptive network topology. The mathematical apparatus on which the model is based is dynamic graph theory, due to which the functioning of an ad hoc network is represented as a set of static graphs, each of which corresponds to a certain timestamp. Dynamic graphs allow changes in the network to be tracked and marked as legitimate or illegitimate. The key parameters of the developed model were chosen based on the practical experience of researchers involved in the detection of various attacks in ad hoc networks, which makes the proposed model a priori oriented for subsequent security analysis.

The paper proposes an approach to estimating the security of cyber-physical systems based on the modeling graph structural characteristics. As structural characteristics of the graph, indicators based on the spectrum of the graph were studied. To test the hypothesis about the negative impact of attacking influences on the structure of the graph, experiments were carried out, consisting in the sequential removal of vertices and edges from the graph with "small world" property. This type of graph was chosen because researches show that the “small world” property is inherent in high voltage smart grids. The conducted experiments showed that the attacking influences on the system, displayed on the graph, negatively affect the structure of the network, and therefore lead to inefficient information exchange and, consequently, the functioning of the system.

The approach of detecting the beginning of a DDoS attack by statistical methods, taking into account seasonality, is considered. The standard setting of limits on the number of requests associated with the occurrence of random triggers and various load of the web resource, depending on the time of day and days of the week, has a number of disadvantages. To optimize the process, it is proposed to use a floating estimate characterizing the current network activity based on the standard deviation (RMS), as well as taking into account seasonal fluctuations. A k-means clustering method for distributing client requests is proposed. The algorithm selects two clusters from mixed traffic. The first is a set of legitimate requests, the second is a set of malicious requests. The introduction of the proposed technique into the protection system, which takes into account the seasonality of DDoS attacks for various types of infrastructure objects, can increase the efficiency of detecting such attacks without increasing resource intensity.

To achieve this goal, this paper solves the problem of developing a software package that performs on the sender's side discrete chaotic transformation of a secret message, then embedding it into a covering object using the ±1HUGO method and encoding, and on the recipient's side decoding using a multi–threshold decoder, extracting a secret message and reverse discrete chaotic transformation. In addition, the software package must calculate performance indicators: the peak signal-to-noise ratio and the Pearson correlation coefficient of the covering object and the stego.

The paper proposed a threat model of cyber-physical systems (CPS), with examples of attacks and consequences for systems for various purposes. It is concluded that the most critical consequences of attacks are related to the disruption of information exchange within the system. Thus, the task of ensuring the security of the CPS is reduced to restoring the efficiency of information exchange. To neutralize the negative consequences for information exchange, it is proposed to use graph artificial neural networks (ANNs). A review of modern architectures of graph ANNs has been carried out. To generate a synthetic training dataset, an algorithm was developed and implemented that simulates the intensity of the network flow and the workload of devices in the system based on graph centrality metrics. A graph ANN was trained for the task of reconfiguring the graph of the CFS network.
