METHOD FOR MASKING STRUCTURE OF COMMUNICATION NETWORK Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC G06F15/00 H04L12/28 H04L9/00 

FIELD: information security.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of information security of communication systems. In the method, the value of the weighting coefficient w_e of each information direction e is calculated, then an arbitrary replacement communication node is selected to simulate a communication node of the highest rank r, the information direction e^T is selected by the minimum value of the weighting coefficient w_e adjacent to the selected replacement communication node x^T and e^T is stored in the memory array [T], then the minimum weight w_e information direction e^T adjacent to E^T is selected and e^T is stored in the memory array [T], the similarity coefficient K_CX of the masking exchange network structure E^T with the simulated communication network structure is calculated, next, the similarity coefficient C_s of the network structure of the masking exchange E^T is compared with the preset required value of C_s^Req, if C_s< C_s^Req, then an arbitrary information direction is added to E^T, if C_s> C_s^Req, then the number of s information directions in E^T is stored in [S], then the intensity of masking traffic λ_e^m of each information direction in the network structure of the masking exchange E^T is calculated.

EFFECT: increased effectiveness of masking the structure of the communication network by synthesizing the structure of the masking exchange network and calculating the quantitative values of the masking traffic intensity indicator in several information directions.
