VULNERABILITIES OF SHORT MESSAGE ENCRYPTION IN MOBILE INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE OBJECTS

Abstract

The article considers the possibility of implementing attacks on information exchange in mobile information and communication systems (ICS), which are protected for additional practical cryptographic transformations. Information exchange in the IСS of critical infrastructure objects is often implemented by means of transmission, receiving and paying fees of apparently short notices. Such improvements can be used to formalize control commands and data on the flow mill of objects, alert signals, alerts about suspected activity in computer networks or data for the formation of multiple secrets (keys) in cyber defense systems. Short message services (Short Message Service - SMS) or add-ons on mobile platforms - messengers are analyzed for the exchange of apparently short notifications. Informed about the possibility of an attack on cryptographic systems with a method of designating a streaming station, the object of critical infrastructure and methods of its implementation. Formulated practical recommendations about how to prevent significant attacks, as well as direct further charges.
