Abstract

The article notes the increasing importance of ensuring information security in the data processing, storage, search and transmission in the information systems and information and telecommunications networks in the 21st century. Current research areas in the field of the information security are considered, such as biometric methods and the information protection tools, blockchain technology, cryptography (including quantum cryptography), Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), the steganographic information protection methods, Data Leakage Prevention systems (DLPsystems), cyberbullying, obfuscation methods, and the information security management. The author analyzes the dynamics of changes in scientometric indicators for scientific activity (publication, citation and Hirsh index) in 2010-2019 with relation to the research areas concerned. A number of trends for those indicators were revealed during the analyzed period, including an explosive growth of publications in the following areas: blockchain technology, information security management, biometric methods and the information protection tools, quantum cryptography, obfuscation methods. After four years of stable demand for research results in the field of information security management, since 2015, that indicator has been falling, what was possibly caused by the 2014 crisis. The growth of the citation index until the end of the period was noted only for two areas: blockchain technology and cyberbullying. The maximum value in indicators of demand for the results of Russian scientists work, achieved by Russian scientists in 2010-2019, was identified in the area of cyberbullying, the minimum – in the field of DLP-systems. The analysis of annual scientometric indicators was carried out using the RSCI database (Russian science citation index).
