Countering the spread of calls for political extremism through graphic content on online social networks is becoming an increasingly pressing problem that requires the development of new technological solutions, since traditional approaches to countering are based on the results of recognizing destructive content only in text messages. Since in modern conditions neural network tools for analyzing graphic information are considered the most effective, it is assumed that it is advisable to use such tools for analyzing images and video materials in online social networks, taking into account the need to adapt them to the expected conditions of use, which are determined by the wide variability in the size of graphic content, the presence of typical interference, limited computing resources of recognition tools. Using this thesis, a method has been proposed that makes it possible to implement the construction of neural network recognition tools adapted to the specified conditions. For recognition, the author's neural network model was used, which, due to the reasonable determination of the architectural parameters of the low-resource convolutional neural network of the MobileNetV2 type and the recurrent neural network of the LSTM type, which makes up its structure, ensures high accuracy of recognition of scenes of political extremism both in static images and in video materials under limited computing conditions resources. A mechanism was used to adapt the input field of the neural network model to the variability of the size of graphic resources, which provides for scaling within acceptable limits of the input graphic resource and, if necessary, filling the input field with zeros. Levelling out typical noise is ensured by using advanced solutions in the method for correcting brightness, contrast and eliminating blur of local areas in images of online social networks. Neural network tools developed on the basis of the proposed method for recognizing scenes of political extremism in graphic materials of online social networks demonstrate recognition accuracy at the level of the most well-known neural network models, while ensuring a reduction in resource intensity by more than 10 times. This allows the use of less powerful equipment, increases the speed of content analysis, and also opens up prospects for the development of easily scalable recognition tools, which ultimately ensures an increase in security and a reduction in the spread of extremist content on online social networks. It is advisable to correlate the paths for further research with the introduction of the Attention mechanism into the neural network model used in the method, which will make it possible to increase the efficiency of neural network analysis of video materials.

Method for Effective Use of Cloudlet Network Resources
Статья научная
The article addresses the issue of balanced placement of mobile software applications of mobile users in cloudlets deployed near base stations of Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks (WMAN), taking into account their technical capabilities. It is noted that the proposed model is more efficient in meeting the demand for computing and memory resources of mobile devices, eliminating network delays and using a reliable communication channel. At the same time, a minimum of cloudlet-based communication channels with a mobile user was suggested, reducing the network load and reliability of the communication channel when using multimedia software on mobile devices. The article reviews the balanced distribution of the tasks in the cloudlet network. If a user offloads the task to the nearest cloud and resolves it there, then the delays and energy consumption will be less. When the cloudlet is far from the mobile device, as the number of communication channels increases the delays are observed. Moreover, the article discusses the issue of selecting the cloudlets that meet some of the user requirements. Using the possible values that determine the importance of cloudlets (vacant resources in cloudlets, closeness of cloudlets to the user, high reliability, etc.), the conditions, according to which the user's application is offloaded to the certain cloudlet, are studied and a method is proposed.

Method of Calculating Information Protection from Mutual Influence of Users in Social Networks
Статья научная
Dynamic models of the information security system (DMoISS) in social networks (SN) are studied and the mutual influence between users (MIBU) was taken into account. Also, the stability of the security system (SoSS) was analyzed. There is a practical interest in studying the behavior of the of SN information security systems (ISS) using parameters of the MIBU. DMoISS in SN in the mathematical sense of this term is considered. A dynamic system is understood as an object or process for which the concept of state is unambiguously defined as a set of certain quantities at a given moment of time and a given law describes the change (evolution) of the initial state over time. SN is a set of users and connections between them. Individuals, social groups, organizations, cities, countries can be considered as users. Connections are understood not only as MIBU, but also as the exchange of various resources and activities. Theoretical study of the dynamic behavior of a real object requires the creation of its mathematical model. The procedure of developing the model is to compile mathematical equations based on physical laws. These laws were formulated in the language of differential equations. As a result of the research it is established the influence of parameters of MIBU on parameters of SN ISS. Phase portraits (PP) of the data protection system in the MatLab/Multisim program are determined, what indicates of the SoSS in the operating range of the parameters even at the maximum value of influences. This study is useful and important from the point of view of information security in the network, since the parameters of MIBU significantly affect the protection rate (with different values - up to 100%). The scientific value of the article lies in the fact that for the first time, on the basis of the study of the developed systems of nonlinear differential equations (NDE), it is shown the quantitative relationship between the parameters of the MIBU and the parameters of the SN ISS, as well as the SoSS is shown based on the study of the nonlinear equation of the second degree.

The article reflects the views of the authors on the method for the operational calculation of the indicator of the functioning of special-purpose information and telecommunication networks of the tactical level of control according to the criterion of "network availability". Improvement of weapons and military equipment, forms and methods of combat, as well as a change in views on command and control, put forward ever more stringent requirements for the information and telecommunication system in general and for its elements in particular. The problems of development, planning of combat use and operation of information and telecommunication networks of the tactical control level are their heterogeneity, since they use heterogeneous transmission systems (radio and wire) together. The characteristic features of the planning, deployment and operation of information and telecommunication networks of the tactical control level are a high degree of uncertainty in the characteristics of their functioning and the lack of initial data in planning, which necessitates the improvement of the methodological basis for conducting operational calculations. Based on the analysis of ITU-T recommendations, scientific publications and the practice of combat use of the defense forces, it becomes clear that the operational calculation of individual criteria and indicators of the functioning of information and telecommunication systems of the tactical control level needs to be improved, since these systems have their own characteristic features. The material presented in the article makes it possible to develop new approaches to solving the problem of a reasonable calculation of the required bandwidth of the access node of the information and telecommunications network of the tactical control link. The significance and value of this study lies in the fact that in the conditions of continuous improvement of the forms and methods of warfare, high dynamism of changes in the states of information and telecommunication systems of the tactical control level, the correct choice of the apparatus for assessing the decisions made should play a decisive role in shortening the deployment planning cycle and sustainable functioning of the system management.

Method of Parallel Information Object Search in Unified Information Spaces
Статья научная
The article describes the concept of a unified information space and an algorithm of its formation using a special information and computer system. The process of incoming object search in a unified information space is considered, which makes it possible to uniquely identify it by corresponding features. One of the main tasks of a unified information space is that each information object in it is uniquely identified. For this, the identification method was used, which is based on a step-by-step analysis of object characteristics. The method of parallel information object search in unified information spaces is proposed, when information object search will be conducted independently in all unified information spaces in parallel. Experimental studies of the method of parallel information object search in unified information spaces were conducted, on the basis of which the analysis of efficiency and incoming objects search time in unified information spaces was carried out. There was experimentally approved that the more parameters that describe the information object, the less the time of object identification depends on the length of the interval. Also, there was experimentally approved that the efficiency of the searching of the incoming objects in unified information spaces tends to a directly proportional relationship with a decrease in the length of the interval and an increase in the number of parameters, and vice versa.

Method of Performing Operations on the Elements of GF(2m) Using a Sparse Table
Статья научная
For the implementation of error-correcting codes, cryptographic algorithms, and the construction of homomorphic methods for privacy-preserving, there is a need for methods of performing operations on elements GF(2m) that have low computational complexity. This paper analyzes the existing methods of performing operations on the elements GF(2m) and proposes a new method based on the use of a sparse table of elements of this field. The object of research is the processes of operations in information security systems. The subject of research is methods and algorithms for performing operations on elements GF(2m). The purpose of this research is to develop and improve methods and algorithms for performing operations on elements GF(2m) to reduce their computational complexity. Empirical methods and methods of mathematical and software modeling are used in the research. Existing and proposed algorithms are implemented using the C# programming language in the Visual Studio 2015 development environment. Experimental research of existing and developed algorithms was carried out according to the proposed method, which allows to level the influence of additional parameters on the results of the research. The conducted research on methods for performing operations on the elements GF(2m) shows the expediency of using a sparse table of field elements. This approach makes it possible to reduce the amount of RAM required for the software and hardware implementation of the developed method compared to the classical tabular method, which requires storage of a full table of correspondence of the polynomial and index representation of the field elements. In addition, the proposed method gives an increase in speed of more than 4 times for the operations of calculating the multiplicative inverse element and exponentiation. As a result, the proposed method allows to reduce the computational complexity of error-correcting codes, cryptographic algorithms, and the homomorphic methods for privacy-preserving.

The paper describes the organization of the unified information space which is based on the uniform principles and the general rules that ensure the informational interaction of objects. In practice, in case when the communication with an information object of the unified information space is lost, the necessary information about this object should be collected by the analysis of previous interactions of the information object with the other information objects. The goal of this paper article is to develop a mechanism that will allow restore the missing parameters of information objects in case of communication loss with this object. There was performed the experimental researches with the proposed mechanisms. The experiments have shown that there is an unequivocal relationship between the quality of restoration of an information object and the topology of links within an unified information space.

Methodology for Benchmarking IPsec Gateways
Статья научная
The paper analyses forwarding performance of IPsec gateway over the rage of offered loads. It focuses on the forwarding rate and packet loss particularly at the gateway's performance peak and at the state of gateway's overload. It explains possible performance degradation when the gateway is overloaded by excessive offered load. The paper further evaluates different approaches for obtaining forwarding performance parameters – a widely used throughput described in RFC 1242, maximum forwarding rate with zero packet loss and us proposed equilibrium throughput. According to our observations equilibrium throughput might be the most universal parameter for benchmarking security gateways as the others may be dependent on the duration of test trials. Employing equilibrium throughput would also greatly shorten the time required for benchmarking. Lastly, the paper presents methodology and a hybrid step/binary search algorithm for obtaining value of equilibrium throughput.

Minimization of Power Consumption in Mobile Adhoc Networks
Статья научная
An ad hoc network is a mobile wireless network that has no fixed access point or centralized infrastructure. Each node in the network functions as a mobile router of data packets for other nodes and should maintain the network routes for long standing which is not possible due to limited battery source. Also, due to node mobility, link failures in such networks are very frequent and render certain standard protocols inefficient resulting in wastage of power and loss in throughput. The power consumption is an important issue with the goal to maintain the network lives for long by consuming less power. The power consumption can be achieved by modifying algorithms such as cryptographic algorithms,Routing algorithms, Multicast Algorithms, Energy Efficient Algorithms and Power Consumption Techniques in High Performance Computing, Compression and decompression algorithms, minimizing link failure algorithms, and by power control algorithms. In this work, we have proposed a new algorithm for minimization of power consumption in Ad hoc networks. The performance of the proposed model is analyzed and it is observed that, information could be sent with security consuminglesscomputational power, thereby increasing the battery life.

Mining Data Streams using Option Trees
Статья научная
In today's applications, evolving data streams are stored as very large databases; the databases which grow without limit at a rate of several million records per day. Data streams are ubiquitous and have become an important research topic in the last two decades. Mining these continuous data streams brings unique opportunities, but also new challenges. For their predictive nonparametric analysis, Hoeffding-based trees are often a method of choice, which offers a possibility of any-time predictions. Although one of their main problems is the delay in learning progress due to the presence of equally discriminative attributes. Options are a natural way to deal with this problem. In this paper, Option trees which build upon regular trees is presented by adding splitting options in the internal nodes to improve accuracy, stability and reduce ambiguity. Results based on accuracy and processing speed of algorithm under various memory limits is presented. The accuracy of Hoeffding Option tree with Hoeffding trees under circumstantial conditions is compared.

A propose a framework may be produced an efficient treatment for elderly care at home with low power consumption. A framework contains three phases names; medical data collection layer, routing and network layer and medical application layer. It intends to increase security performance through prediction and detection attacks in real time. Cooja simulator is used for generating real-time IoT routing datasets including normal and malicious motes based on different types of power. The generated IoT routing dataset using data augmentation (SMOTE) to increase the size of dataset. The preprocessing of the generating dataset using three methods of feature selection which are weight by rule, Chi-Squared and weight by tree importance using random forest reduce noise and over-fitting. A proposed model uses convolution neural network (CNN) to detect and predict IoT routing attacks to identify suspicious network traffic. A number of studies have been carried out in this area, but the issue of the extent of the impact of attacks on energy consumption is an interesting topic. Attacks can affect the network completely, in particular on the power consumption of smart devices. Therefore; the main target of this research is detecting and predicting different types of IoT routing attacks which have impact on power consumption and destroy the entire network. This work analyzes the impact of IoT routing attacks on different power consumption using CNN to achieve low power consumption by detecting different types of routing attacks. The experimental results show CNN can detect different types of attacks that have a bad impact on power consumption. It achieves high accuracy, precision, recall, correlation and low rate in error and logistic loss and this leads to decrease power consumption.

In recent years the domain of Internet of Things (IoT) has acquired great interest from the ICT community. Environmental observation and collecting information is one of the key reasons that IoT infrastructure facilitates the creation of many varieties of the latest business methods and applications. There are however still issues about security measures to be resolved to ensure adequate operation of devices. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are currently the most severe virtual threats that are causing serious damage to many IoT devices. With this in mind, numerous research projects were carried out to discover new methods and develop Novel techniques and solutions for DDOS attacks prevention. The use of new technology, such as software-defined networking (SDN) along with IoT devices has proven to be an innovative solution to mitigate DDoS attacks. In this article, we are using a novel data sharing system in IoT units that link IoT units with the SDN controller and encrypt information from IoT unit. We use conventional Redstone cryptographic algorithms to encrypt information from IoT devices in this framework. The Proposed Belief Based Secure Correlation methodology supports the prevention of DDOS attacks and other forms of data attacks. The system proposes new routes for transmission through the controller and communicates with approved switches for the safe transmission of data. To simulate our entire scenario, we proposed the algorithm Belief Based Secure Correlation (BBSC) implemented in SDN–IoT Testbed and verified IoT data is secure during transmission in the network.

Mobility Based Cluster Head Selection Algorithm for Mobile Ad-Hoc Network
Статья научная
Clustering in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) has become a crucial research issue in modern days, because clustering can improve system performance of MANETs. As MANETs have limited battery power supply, cluster formation is costly in terms of power depletion of nodes in the cluster. This is due to the huge amount of messages transmission required during cluster formation and further data transfer. In this paper, an extensive literature survey of MANET clustering algorithm was done and lastly we proposed an algorithm for cluster head selection and cluster maintenance. The proposed algorithm uses self-organizing principle for binding a node with a cluster, which can reduce the explicit message passing in cluster maintenance. Thus, there is no need of extra message passing during further cluster maintenance. Unlike most usual methods, a cluster head in our proposed algorithm acts only as an identifying tag for cluster entity, further it performs as a typical node when it is acting as head. It does not perform any cluster maintenance function or hierarchical routing and hence is not a bottleneck to the functioning of the cluster.
