Trustworthy ICT
Security is a specific topic in Russian ICT since its primary customers are law enforcement and defense agencies. As a result it is notably closed for cooperation.
Still in 2011 the initiative of the National Software Platform proclaimed security as one of the key objectives of the platform, with stress on open-source and redistributable hardware and software systems. This gives a perspective of opening R&D in security for international cooperation.
This ICT domain is covered by National Software Platform.
Distinguished R&D institutions:
- Institute for System Programming of the Russian Academy of Sciences
- Dr. Web
New methods and algorithms and its utilization in the various problems of digital signal and image processing tasks, such as compression, filtration, enhancement, recognition, watermarking and etc. as well as appropriate software tools are developed in different laboratories of Armenian research institutes. The research includes synthesis of new orthogonal and bi-orthogonal matrices and its corresponding fast transform algorithm, digital signal and image steganography, morphological analysis of signal and image, image quality assessment and enhancement, Data mining, coding theory and cryptography synthesis of new cryptosystems and their software implementation under cluster and grid environments, key cryptosystems based on elliptic curves.
The research is directed to solution of theoretical and applied problems of reliability and security of information transmission in complex communication systems, study of statistical models of hypothesis testing and identification. Various investigations are implemented related to application of information-theoretical and statistical methods and computers for health, environment, sociology problems solution.
