Abstract:
In this paper a possibility for quantitative measuring of information security of objects, exposed to
information attacks and processed with methods of compression, is represented. A co-efficient of information
security, which reflects the influence of the level of compression obtained after applying methods of compression
to objects and the time, required by the attack to get access to the corresponding object, is proposed. Methods’
groups with the highest and respectively the lowest values of the co-efficient of information security for all
methods’ groups in relation to all attacks’ groups are determined. Assessments and conclusions for future
investigations are proposed.
