Geoinformation technologies and data protection.

The paper considers the current issues of the application of modern methods of information protection and data processing in geoinformation systems. When processing geoinformation information we face data protection problems. This is due to the fact that many geoinformation services work via the Internet, therefore, information is provided to an unlimited number of users. In this regard there is a problem of information protection in geoinformation systems. It is solved by standard methods of information protection in information systems. The specificity of geoinformation technologies is in the fact that the information in geoinformation systems includes spatially coordinated objects that have location characteristics. Information in GIS should be transmitted via secure channels, and restricted access information should be stored and transmitted in encrypted form. Also the basic concepts include user identification and authentication. By using information security tools in geoinformation systems we can reduce the likelihood of interception of geoinformation information and prevent harm from its dissemination, modification or loss.
