COVERT CHANNELS GENERATED BY TAGS.

• N. A. Grusho   IPI RAN, info@itake.ru

Abstract:  A possibility of creation of covert channels by means of the tags determined by admissible changes of the form of electrical signals is researched. Existence of identified admissible changes of the formof electrical signals is shown. The algorithm of creation of the covert channel with the check group reducing probability of the wrong decoding of hidden transmission is considered. It is shown that the number of the transferred hidden messages is commensurable with number of messages in legal transmission.

Keywords:  covert channels; data transfer standards by means of electrical signals; bandwidth of covert channels

ATTACKS ON THE CENTRALIZED SYSTEMS OF INTRUSION DETECTION.

• A. A. Timonina   Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics, M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, toniat@yandex.ru
• E. E. Timonina   IPI RAN, eltimon@yandex.ru

Abstract:  Creation of the powerful centralized centers of attacks detection, servicing a large number of clients, possesses obvious positive properties. However, such systems generate a new class of the attacks connected with a need to service a flow of incidents, arriving from different clients. Such flow can generate a queue preventing effective detection of attacks. These problems are described by queue models. Some results of attacks simulation by means of queuing systems are presented.

Keywords:  information security; queuing systems; intrusion detection

ON A METHOD OF RELIABLE DELIVERY AND DATA SOURCE VERIFICATION WITHIN A CLIENT–SERVER INTERACTION OVER AN OPEN COMMUNICATION CHANNEL.

• E. V. Piskovskiy   Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (State University), evgeny.piskovsky@gmail.com

Abstract:  Two models of client - server interaction are considered: a model to describe reliable data delivery over an open channel and a model to describe data source verification. The models are formulated based on a set of rules to resolve the conflicts when several clients are connecting to one server. A computer-appliance is suggested for testing the functionality of the models either allowing several connections to the server from multiple clients or blocking connections from multiple clients.

Keywords:  client - server interaction; two-factor authentication; information source verification; reliable data delivery; open channel

ON THE PROBLEM OF SUBSEQUENCES INCLUSION INTO THE DATA PACKAGES HEADERS.

• M. I. Zabezhailo   Applied Research Center for Computer Networks, Moscow, Skolkovo, MZabezhailo@ arccn.ru

Abstract:  The possibility to apply models and techniques of the Software Defined Networks (SDN-technologies) to optimize traffic control in computer networks is discussed. An algebraic formalization for the problem of subwords inclusion into the words over the given alphabet is suggested. There are analyzed problem-oriented conditions and algorithms that implement and optimize checking for limited length subwords (subsequences) inclusion into the lines of big switching tables. Some additional SDN- based abilities to speed up data processing in computer networks are demonstrated.

• A. A. Khoroshilov   Center of Information Technologies and Systems for Executive Power Authorities, A.A.Khoroshilov@yandex.ru

Abstract:  A method for generation of the formalized semantic content of a document and its visual representation, a semantic map of the document, is described. The formalization of the document content is based on the application of the semantic and conceptual analysis methods ensuring definition of the conceptual content of the text and the assignment to concepts of characteristics consistent with their semantic role and significance in the text. The resulting semantic structure of the text is converted to its visual representation showing the relationships between objects, events, and themes.

Keywords:  formalized semantic description of the document; document semantic map; semantic analysis; conceptual analysis; analysis of conceptual content of the document; knowledge extraction from texts
