Abstract:
The article continues a series of works devoted to the description and analysis of distributed technology of concrete historical investigation support based on the principles of crowdsourcing. This article is devoted to modeling the process of information attacks on the community of technology users in order to falsify the history. Some numerical indicators reflecting the consequences of such attacks have been developed. The tests proved the vulnerability of the technology to information attacks in the absence of special countermeasures. Such measures based on certain group norms of information processing, the distribution of roles, and the use of special facilitation techniques and described in the form of community members activity algorithm were proposed. Modeling has shown that the proposed measures of resistance to information attacks are stably effective. It allowed us to recommend the usage of the proposed measures in the technology of concrete historical investigation support and to draw a conclusion about the sustainability of the updated technology to attempts to falsify the history.
