Conflicting Subsystems in the Information Space: A Study at the Software and Hardware Levels
Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The study of complex systems led to the development of the theory of conflicts, which allows for modeling and solving information conflicts between elements of information and cybernetic systems. This article is the next step of research in the field of information confrontation and describes the information conflict in the context of “object—object”. Based on the analysis of scientific sources, the classification of conflicts at the “object-object” level is presented. It is determined that for information and cybernetic systems, they discussed developments in the theory of conflicts that have specific features for different levels. The definition of information conflict is proposed as a process of interference in the information space and/or information system of the opposite party to violate the confidentiality, reliability, and integrity of the opponent’s information. The classification of information conflict is carried out according to the following levels: between the means of information collection and information transmission; as means of radio-electronic warfare between means of information influence for counteraction, protection, or intelligence; between general purpose software applications and information protection programs; between software and technical means of information protection; between communication channels of information networks and protocols of their functioning. For each of them, the types of conflict situations are presented and solutions are recommended through the analysis of scientific developments on this problem. It is proved that the theory of information conflicts in information and cyber security systems has an innovative character, strengthening the creation and development of new technologies for ensuring the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of information. The approaches considered in this study can be used in the training of specialists in the field of information and cyber security.
