IMPROVEMENT OF SYSTEM CERTIFICATION OF ORGANIC AGRARIAN PRODUCTION IN UKRAINE

The article is devoted to the actual problem of forming a certification system for organic production of agricultural products. It was determined that for the successful development of organic production, certification is of decisive importance, as it is a tool for protecting the rights of consumers and conscientious producers. It is noted that a clearly formed system of standardization and certification of organic production of agricultural products has not been implemented in Ukraine yet. This complicates the development of the organic sector, reduces the competitiveness of domestic producers on the international and national markets. It was established that, taking into account the export orientation, it is proposed to apply the public-private model of the organic production certification system. It has been proven that in modern conditions such a model has critical drawbacks for the domestic organic sector: duplication and irrational distribution of accreditation and state supervision functions between state authorities, the growth of corruption risks, the creation of obstacles to competition on the market of certification services, the complexity of implementation in the conditions of budgetary limitations financing. It is proposed to improve the proposed public-private model of the organic production certification system by creating a collegial non-governmental authority — the Accreditation Commission of Organic Production. The reduction of state regulation will contribute to the rapid formation of the certification system, the growth of competition in the certification services market, and the improvement of regulatory and institutional support for certification for domestic stakeholders.

Information technology of IT-infrastructure management architecture elements

The development of the System Architecture of the IT-infrastructure focused on the use of modern Data Centers is considered. At the same time, it is envisaged to create components that describe: general approaches to building a system architecture; IT-services – information technologies that solve the task of providing IT-services; logical model of IT-infrastructure. Formulated logic of IT-infrastructure construction: IT-infrastructure architectures define a set of services. IT-services are provided to three groups of clients. IT-services and clients are connected by 5 implementation scenarios. The integration of IT-services is determined by 5 architectures. As IT-services, we understand information technologies aimed at maintaining the following elements in a technically good state: network devices, computing equipment, data storage devices, automatic software deployment services, network services, perimeter protection services, directory services, file and print services, data management services, business application services, IT-management services, archiving and recovery services, certificate management services, integration services. Architectures define the fundamental principles of building IT-services and their relationship. Also, requirements for the creation of IT-services are formed on the basis of the architecture. One of the most important architectures is architecture of IT-infrastructure management. The architecture of the management system ensures the necessary level of IT-services of the Data Center due to the organization of three components – personnel, processes, technologies. The tasks of the architecture are: use of processes and information technologies to identify and minimize failures of IT-services; ensuring a high degree of integration of information technologies; ensuring response to changes in system parameters and performance of service functions in real time. As an example, the management function of the IT-service “network administration” (monitoring and control of configuration management services, coordination of changes, remote management and debugging) is considered. The algorithmic synthesis of programs and devices network management is considered, which consists in the construction of a functional scheme of control devices in two stages – abstract and structural synthesis, and all the steps of its solution and subsequent hardware synthesis are determined.

A Security Certification Scheme for Information-Centric Networks

Information-Centric Networking is an emerging alternative to host-centric networking designed for large-scale content distribution and stricter privacy requirements. Recent research on Information-Centric Networking focused on the protection of the network from attacks targeting the content delivery protocols, while assuming genuine content can always be retrieved from trustworthy nodes. In this paper, we depart from the assumption of the trustworthiness of network nodes and propose a novel certification methodology for information-centric networks that supports continuous security verification of non-functional properties. Our methodology provides a complete and detailed view of the network security status, increasing the trustworthiness of the network and its services. The proposed approach builds on an enhanced certification model capturing the evolution of the system over time. It also defines certification services that fully integrate with existing networks to collect evidence on the target of certification and carry out the certification process. It finally proposes two certification processes, centralized and decentralized, balancing the impact on the network and the system performance. Efficiency, performance, and soundness of our approach are experimentally evaluated in a simulated Named Data Networking (NDN) network targeting property availability.
