Special Features of Designing Information Protection Systems in the Activity of Bodies of Internal Affairs
An efficient solution of many information protection tasks, including designing systems for information protection, has certain specific features. Since the basis of these tasks is, in fact, the confrontation of information protection specialists, on the one hand, and the enemy, on the other, such tasks are defined as unformalisable, which are mainly solved by empirical methods. The absence of formal methods for designing information protection systems obviously implies a careful preparation of the initial data, the validity of the decisions made at various stages of system design, the correctness in the selection and use of the relevant criteria. One of the traditional foundations of design is the principle of economic feasibility and a derived criterion. The proposed paper challenges the advisability of applying this principle in activities of bodies of internal affairs and suggests using a non-economic criterion.
