The article deals with the development, implementation and research of the spectrum analyzers that can be used in sensor networks and Internet systems of things. As an operating frequency range, 2.4–2.5 GHz ISM is selected. At the stage of hardware selection, a comparative analysis of existing available microcontrollers for the analysis of the spectrum, the choice of hardware interfaces, the ordering of the required modules and electrical components, as well as the input control is carried out. During development, several variants of spectrum analyzers on the basis of microcontroller and TI Chipcon СС2500 microcontrollers with USB interfaces, as well as Cypress CYWUSB6935 modules with LPT and USB interfaces, have been implemented. At the development stage, the development of the printed circuit board, its fabrication, component assembly, microcontroller programming, the verification of the assembly's robustness, making corrections, connecting to a personal computer and assembly in the case have been carried out. An analysis of existing software for collecting information on the state of the wireless broadcast is also conducted. According to the results of comparative experiments of various collections of spectrum analyzers, spectrographs for different types of signals were obtained. On these typical spectrographs a comparative analysis of the work of various prototypes was conducted. The offered approaches to building sensors on the basis of spectrum analyzers allow to create low-power modules for embedding in existing wireless information networks of enterprises for prevention of inter-channel interference and ensuring the integrity of data transmission. As a result of experiments, it is evident that not all existing modules are very different in characteristics, and the quality of their work is directly related to the type and quality of the antenna. The article gives the basic electric circuits, a list of elements, examples of PCBs, programmers, software and prototypes.

The actual task of finding the optimal strategy for control the procedure of mutual financial investments to the situation center for cyber security on transport. The aim of the work – the development of a model for a decision support system on the continuous mutual investment in a cyber security situational center, which differs from the existing ones by solving a bilinear differential quality game with several terminal surfaces. In order to achieve the goal there was used a discrete-approximation method for solving a bilinear differential quality game with dependent motions. Application of this method in the developed decision support system, unlike existing ones, gives concrete recommendations ft choosing control decisions in the investment process. The proposed model gives concrete recommendations at choosing strategies in the investment process at the creation of a protected situational center. In the course of the computational experiment, there was considered a new class of bilinear differential games that allowed adequately to describe the process of investing in cyber security means of situational transport centers in Kazakhstan and Ukraine. For the first time, there was proposed a model describing the process of mutual investment based on the solution of bilinear equations and a differential quality game with several terminal surfaces. Considered the peculiarity of the differential game on the example of mutual investment in the means of cyber security of the situational transport center. In this case, the right-hand side of the system of differential equations is represented in the form of bilinear functions with arbitrary coefficients. The model allows to predict the results of investment and to find strategies for managing the investment process in the protection and cyber security systems of the situational transport center

Recently, special attention at implementation of the necessary level of information security is given to wireless technologies. Their use contributes to the growing demand for video information services. This is accompanied by an increase in the intensity of video streams and an increase in the processing time of video information, resulting in them far beyond the bandwidth of networks. Consequently, there is a contradiction that is caused: on the one hand, the growth of requirements for the quality of video information; on the other hand, difficulties in providing services of the given quality using wireless technologies.The article deals with issues related to the speed of the video stream of video information, depending on the quality of video data required, from spatial resolution and frame rate. The article concludes that with the trend of increasing the amount of video information in the complexes of the Hellenic Republic - it is necessary to improve the coding methods. In order to increase the efficiency of management and operational activities, it is proposed to improve the existing methods of encoding dynamic video streaming object with algorithms for motion compensation for video conferencing in the system of troop control. As a result, the article proposes a six-point algorithm for search, which can increase the efficiency and reduce the processing time of video information between subscribers. This approach, in the future, by improving the existing methods for encoding dynamic video streaming objects with algorithms of motion compensation, will improve the efficiency of using videoconferencing, for example, in the control system of troops.

The article considers and analyzes the determination of the reliability of information, objects and subjects of information, which will become the first step for the development of such a method that will affect the reliability of information resources. The term reliability of information should be understood as the proximity of information to the original source and adequate perception of the object of consideration by the subjects of the information space. As objects of information security act a person, society and the state. All types of information that meets the needs of the subject meet such properties as the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. As to the impact on information and its processing, the greatest interest is threats. The threat in its general form will be any potentially possible adverse effect on objects that (which) causes damage to the subject of information activity. Recently, the influence on the reliability of information has become much widespread, and therefore there has been a phenomenon like false information. For a simple example, this is news, social networking sites, fake rating sites, by which certain groups of people or individuals draw the attention of society to incorrect events in the wrong way. Such information, in particular, is unreliable, is spreading at a high rate, gradually being replenished with new details that are the reaction of individuals. The ways of appearance of inadequate information are considered. Also, recommendations are provided to identify false information. Given the fact that the reliability of the information depends on the publications itself, analysts should pay attention to the source, carefully study the facts underlying the information, carefully check the questionable information. An unreliable researcher should consider information coming to the information space from "confidential" sources, even if the material contains a link to the organization represented by the "source".

One of the perspective use of THz (submillimeter) technologies is the wireless communication systems. In particular, it will lead to development of the submillimeter/THz band devices with brand new size, interference immunity and energy efficiency, for high speed video signal broadcasting, line of sight relay, for 5G cell phone transport networks, high precision radars for small size, high velocity target detection and tracking, and hidden object detection radiometric systems. Nowadays, the research of such wireless systems is focused on increase of communication channel bandwidth using superbroadband signals, which occupy all the THz band. However, it’s worth to mention, that in many perspective applications of 5th generation networks, the range has more important role, than the data transmission speed. The goal of the article is the increase of communication center’s information efficiency by the development of innovative solution for construction of the wireless broadband subscriber channel for information resource access using THz band, which provides greater efficiency in the channel’s range and bit rate. The results of THz-band wireless broadband access technical solution analysis are being provided here. The implementation of broadband access requires designating significant informational resource amount per subscriber, which, if the designated resource amount is not enough, leads to decrease in efficiency in service providing. Today’s lack of transmitter/receiver hardware of decent cost, when using unlicensed THz frequencies in backhaul network channels, leads to significant decrease of backhaul network channel length, which means decrease of the network zone size. Therefore, to avoid these flaws, the new technical solution for every subscriber’s bit rate increase, the subscriber amount increase on the territory covered by the access point, and the service coverage territory expansion possibility, is being provided here. During the THz-band channel broadcast system deployment process, one of the main issue is the channel and time resource distribution between the wireless communication system’s different sectors (directions), which is due to the change of traffic quality and amount. A generalized channel and time resource amount prediction algorithm is being provided for high efficiency wireless access channel. The control of such system can be done similarly to the server network. Territorial access point location allows: the increase of data amount being provided to the covered territory subscribers; the possibility to hold energy resource (energy per bit), which means the backhaul channel length is being preserved; the possibility of covered territory size expansion. Generally, the developed solution allows to increase the new generation wireless system data use efficiency, to increase the distance to remote subscriber network in some times, depending on the network access node’s input data stream ratio, and to increase the amount of wireless access points.

An analysis of navigation and command-telemetric radio channels is used for exploitation of unmanned aviation systems are proceeds. The classification of radio channels vulnerability is tied to the modes of unmanned aerial vehicles control and their safe exploitation key terms. The criteria of flight mission feasibility and applicability of the different control modes are set in the conditions of violation at the radio channels data communication. The signs of successful flight task processing are the aircraft returning and landing to the set point, absence of distortions or rejections of preset flight trajectory, regular payload functioning. Each of these criteria can be broken when hindrances and interferences in the radio channels are present. Composition and setting functions of unmanned aerial vehicles control radio channels depend on the control mode. In-process distinguished manual control mode from earth in the zone of visual control, manual control mode via the feedback video channel, automatic control mode by an aircraft by on-board autopilot with constantly operating bilateral radio channel of telemetry and automatic control mode by the commands without permanent telemetric control. The first two modes envisage the permanent participating of the controlled from ground pilot in the control loop and due to it does not depend on suppression of satellite navigation radio channel. Suppression of radio management channels for these modes usually ends with abnormal finishing the flight. Hindrances and suppression of radio channels at automatic control modes can result in deviation of trajectory from the preset one or unsatisfactory work of the payload. Conclusions contain newest further suggestion on the unmanned aerial systems radio channels security. In the modes of visual hand control the probability of extraneous interference can be diminished by directed antennas. To increase the security at the automatic flight modes it offers to use the satellite navigation data authenticity analyzer with permanent comparison between the satellite data and calculated navigation data.

The method of search of cryptographic strong elliptic curves in the Edwards form (where parameter d is non square in the field) over the extended finite fields of small characteristics p ≠ 2.3 is proposed. For these curves is performed the completeness of the points addition law, so they are called as complete Edwards curve. In the first stage over a small prime fields and we find the parameters d of complete Edwards curves who have minimum orders . For both curves we obtain the same values d = 3, which are non square in the fields and . Next with help recurrent formulae for both curves we calculated the orders (where n is odd) of these curves over the extended fields with prime degrees of extension m within known cryptographic standards (with the same bit-length field module 200 ... 600 bits). The calculated values n are tested on primelity. The extensions m, which provide a psevdoprime order 4n of curve with a prime value n, are selected. This provides the highest cryptographic stability of curve by the discrete logarithm problem solution. As a result, over the fields of the characteristic p = 5 we obtain two curves with degrees of expansion m = 181 and m = 277, and over the fields of the characteristic p = 7 one curve with the degree m = 127. For them, the corresponding large prime values of n are determined. The next stage is the calculation of other system-parameters of cryptographic systems based on complete Edwards curves. over the fields of characteristics 5 and 7. The arithmetic of extended fields is based on irreducible primitive polynomials P (z) of degree m. The search and construction of polynomial tables P (z) (for 10 different polynomials for each value m, respectively, for the values of the characteristics p = 5 and p = 7) has been performed. On the basis of each polynomial according to the developed method, the coordinates of the random point P of the curve are calculated. The possible order of this point is the value of 4n, 2n or n. The double doubling of this point is the coordinates and for 30 different generators G = 4P cryptosystems that have a prime order n. The set of parameters that satisfy the standard cryptographic requirements and can be recommended in projecting cryptosystems is obtained.
