Information protection to prevent failures of elements of automated information and control systems of power facilities

Abstract

Introduction. One of the most important tasks in achieving reliability and safety of power supply as an element of ensuring technospheric security is the modernization of automated information and control systems for the transmitting and receiving sides, which ensures resistance against known types of attacks. The aim of the study is to solve the problem of secure information exchange within the framework of automated information and control systems, taking into account the low security of technological communication channels of power facilities to achieve the reliability and safety of power supply as an element of ensuring technospheric security based on the development of intelligent methods for detecting dangerous influences and intrusions to neutralize information security threats in relation to commands to control power equipment. Research methods. Within the framework of the study, general scientific and special methods of scientific knowledge were used, including analysis, synthesis, generalization, which were based on the main provisions and patterns of behavior of systems and information theory. Research results. It is proposed to create innovative algorithms for controlling power equipment, built on the basis of libraries of reference commands and reference sequences of commands used to replace commands intentionally or accidentally distorted by erroneous bits, as well as diagnosing vulnerabilities of information and control systems to ensure the correctness of the process of controlling power equipment. Conclusion. The listed technologies will make it possible to create a new class of efficient algorithms for power equipment control, built on the basis of intelligent methods for detecting dangerous influences and intrusions to neutralize information security threats in relation to control commands based on the analysis of high-level behavioral characteristics of the protected information and control system with the function of controlling the transition of the controlled system to the next a condition that depends on the exact correspondence of the generated commands to the reference commands and the reference sequence of commands, which will ensure the correctness of the control process of power equipment.
