The paper presents the theoretical foundations of synthesis and analysis of complex nonlinear discrete cryptographic signals, the basis for the synthesis of which are random (pseudo-random) processes, including algorithms for cryptographic transformation of information, as well as methods for optimizing the synthesis of these signals using decimation and discrete programming. namely, the method of branches and boundaries. In order to improve the performance of signal generation and processing, estimates of the effectiveness of the decimation procedure are proposed and presented. It is shown that the use of the studied signal systems will improve the efficiency of modern ICS (speed of data generation and processing devices, noise immunity, information security, secrecy, protection against input (imposition) of false messages, message falsification, data integrity, etc.).
