The use of mathematical modeling methods in the design of security system of significant object allows without significant cost and impact on the functioning of the object to justify the requirements to the system as a whole or its individual parts. The purpose of the present paper is to develop a model of the process of multistage targeted computer attack that exploits the Zerologon vulnerability, based on the representation of the attack by a Markov random process with discrete states and continuous time. Methods: methods of Markov process theory, probability theory, computational mathematics and graph theory are used in the model to formalize the attack. Novelty: application of methods of computational mathematics for functional analysis of the results of Kolmogorov’s system of equations allows to solve the problem of maximizing the time of stable operation of critical information infrastructure during computer attacks against it, using the known methods of analysis of continuous functions. Result: formulated a general statement of the problem of modeling the process of a multistage targeted computer attack using a system of Kolmogorov equations, describing the probabilities of being in conflict states of the security system with the intruder. By the Adams method implemented in Mathcad environment, numerical solutions depending on time were obtained. We introduce a security system performance index as a ratio of probability of triggering the security system and blocking intruder’s actions during the attack to the probability of successful completion of the attack. We give an example of research of computer attack realization in a typical information infrastructure, including a corporate network with domain architecture and an automated control system of some technological process. 1 For the considered example defined the optimal values of time parameters of security system. When implementing protective measures with reasonable probabilistic-time characteristics proved an increase in time of stable operation of critical information infrastructure from 11 to 189 hours.","PeriodicalId":422818,"journal":{"name":"Voprosy kiberbezopasnosti","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132143669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research method: mathematical modeling of uncertainty estimation based on binary convolution and Kolmogorov complexity. Data banks on vulnerabilities and weaknesses are used as initial data for modeling. The result: it is shown that the operation of an element of a complex network can be represented by data transformation procedures, which consist of a sequence of operations in time, described by weaknesses and related vulnerabilities. Each operation can be evaluated at a qualitative level in terms of the severity of the consequences in the event of the implementation of potential weaknesses. The use of binary convolution and universal coding makes it possible to translate qualitative estimates into a binary sequence – a word in the alphabet {0,1}. The sequence of such words — as the uncertainty function — describes the possible negative consequences of implementing data transformation procedures due to the presence of weaknesses in an element of a complex system. It is proposed to use the Kolmogorov complexity to quantify the uncertainty function. The use of a Turing machine for calculating the uncertainty function provides a universal mechanism for evaluating elements of complex information systems from the point of view of information security, regardless of their software and hardware implementation.","PeriodicalId":422818,"journal":{"name":"Voprosy kiberbezopasnosti","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127132493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research method is the use of large «wide» neural networks with automatic learning for the implementation of the biometric authentication procedure, ensuring the protection of biometric personal data from compromise. Results of the study - the first national standard GOST R 52633.5 for the automatic training of neuron networks was focused only on a physically secure, trusted computing environment. The protection of the parameters of the trained neural network converters biometrics-code using cryptographic methods led to the need to use short keys and passwords for biometric-cryptographic authentication. It is proposed to build special correlation neurons in the meta-space of Bayes-Minkowski features of a higher dimension. An experiment was carried out to verify the patterns of kkeystroke dynamics using a biometrics-to-code converter based on the data set of the AIConstructor project. In the meta-space of features, the probability of a verification error turned out to be less (EER = 0.0823) than in the original space of features (EER = 0.0864), while in the protected execution mode of the biometrics-to-code converter, the key length can be increased by more than 19 times. Experiments have shown that the transition to the mat space of BayesMinkowski features does not lead to the manifestation of the “curse of dimension” problem if some of the original features have a noticeable or strong mutual correlation. The problem of ensuring the confidentiality of the parameters of trained neural network containers, from which the neural network converter biometrics-code is formed, is relevant not only for biometric authentication tasks. It seems possible to develop a standard for protecting artificial intelligence based on automatically trained networks of Bayesian-Minkowski correlation neurons.","PeriodicalId":422818,"journal":{"name":"Voprosy kiberbezopasnosti","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132435929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
