Experts of the Center have developed and are improving the innovative technology and an SDK titled Industry 4.0 Immune Defense. The SDK is first to allow accumulating and using the artificial «cyber immunity» to efficiently protect a critical information infrastructure against the previously unknown types of cyber attacks and malware (over 50 % of the total number of cyber attacks)

Laboratory staff have developed an innovative technology to detect destructive implant tools and «digital bombs» in critical information infrastructure, based on a deep semantic analysis and «ticketing» of digital economy applications, using dimensions and similarity invariants

Currently, homomorphic encryption systems, such as RSA, ElGamal, Paillier, Gentry-Halevi-Smart, Gribov-Mikhalev, and Burtyka-Babenko, are widely used to protect cloud-based computing. 

The laboratory performs exploratory research on the previously unknown vulnerabilities of cryptographic primitives and asymmetric key algorithms. These include studies based on quantum cryptanalysis, i.e., a modified Shor’s and Grover’s algorithm. 

The team has developed the relevant hardware and software package for the quantum cryptanalysis of cloud-based computing in the Python programming language within the Jupiter environment. The results suggest that it is possible to considerably enhance the cryptographic protection of the critical digital platforms of Industry 4.0.
