Industrial Automatic Control Systems and Controllers Annotation << Back On the Assessment of the Amount of Course-dependent Random Variables in Connection with the Study of Algorithms Information Protection Los A.B. In this paper, we investigate the distribution of the sum of finitely dependent random variables, the need to examine which arises in a number of tasks of the information security. One such task is the study of the properties of the output sequence of a filtering generator, which is included in the number of domestic and foreign algorithms information security. Received in article assessment proximity of the investigated the distribution of the distribution of the sum of independent random variables allow to make a conclusion about the quality of the conversion, implemented by the generator. Keywords: finite-dependent random variables; approximating the amount; the distance in variation. Contacts: E-mail: alos@hse.ru Pp. 31-36.
