Evaluation criteria of centralization options in the architecture of multicomputer systems with traps and baits by Antonina Kashtalian, Sergii Lysenko, Anatoliy Sachenko, Bohdan Savenko, Oleg Savenko, Andrii Nicheporuk

“…New mathematical models were developed for the criteria for operational efficiency, stability, integrity and security in relation to the system center, which, unlike the known mathematical models for evaluating system centers for selecting the next options for centralization, are presented in analytical expressions that take into account the features of the types of centralization in the system architecture, indicators of operational efficiency, stability, integrity and security in relation to the system center and allow forming on their basis an objective function for evaluating options for centralization in systems, the feature of which is the hiding of components with the system center from detection by attackers. …”
