Abstract

Researches of the subject area of lossless information compression and with data loss are carried out and data compression algorithms with minimal redundancy are considered: Shannon-Fano coding, Huffman coding and compression using a dictionary: Lempel-Ziv coding. In the course of the work, the theoretical foundations of data compression were used, studies of various methods of data compression were carried out, the best methods of archiving with encryption and storage of various kinds of data were identified. The method of archiving data in the work is used for the purpose of safe and rational placement of information on external media and its protection from deliberate or accidental destruction or loss. In the Embarcadero RAD Studio XE8 integrated development environment, a software package for an archiver with code protection of information has been developed. The archiverʼs mechanism of operation is based on the creation and processing of streaming data. The core of the archiver is the function of compressing and decompressing files using the Lempel-Ziv method. As a method and means of protecting information in the archive, poly-alphabetic substitution (Viziner cipher) was used. The results of the work, in particular, the developed software can be practically used for archival storage of protected information; the mechanism of data archiving and encryption can be used in information transmission systems in order to reduce network traffic and ensure data security. The resulting encryption and archiving software was used in the module of the software package «Diplomas SNU v.2.6.1», which was developed at the Volodymyr Dal East Ukrainian National University. This complex is designed to create a unified register of diplomas at the university, automate the creation of files-diplomas of higher education in the multifunctional graphics editor Adobe Photoshop. The controller exports all data for analysis and formation of diplomas from the parameters of the corresponding XML files downloaded from the unified state education database in compressed zip archives. The developed module performs the process of unzipping and receiving XML-files with parameters for the further work of the complex «Diplomas SNU v.2.6.1».
