Hilgurt S. Methods and techniques for creating reconfigurable signature-based security tools for computer systems and networks

The thesis is devoted to the research and development of methods for constructing effective reconfigurable hardware signature-based means of information security by combining computing structures, optimized according to specified criteria under specified conditions. To increase the efficiency of the devices being created, methods for combining several different approaches to the construction of hardware information protection systems in one module have been developed, which, by performing optimization procedures, maximize the benefits of each of them. Methods have been developed for the accelerated calculation of quantitative values of the technical characteristics of the components of reconfigurable protection means used as target functions for optimization procedures, without performing a full cycle of time-consuming and resource-intensive procedures for synthesizing a computational structure and bitstreams for loading into an FPGA. Algorithms for the implementation of the proposed combining methods have been developed, software tools have been made for their verification and analysis. In order to simplify the practical application of the proposed methods and tools, a web service using distributed and cloud computing was implemented as a prototype for centralized creation of reconfigurable accelerators.
