    abstract = {The study is devoted to the issues of applying existent mathematical apparatus from optimization and
decision making theories for verification of software and hardware Data Security Tools (DST). The study
contains an algorithm which can be used to verify such DST and which presupposes formal assessment of
criticality of the errors found during testing in the security functions of such security tools and algorithms used
to calculate the total error criticality before the DST is integrated into an information system. The study also
describes software implementation of the proposed verification algorithm which represents a decision support
system making it possible to automatically evaluate criticality of the errors found in the security tools.
Presented software implementation takes into account not only criticality of the errors and their number but also
criticality of the security functions in which such errors were detected during testing of the software and
hardware DST. In case of taking into account the criticality of the security functions of DST the new level of
individual criteria is added to the hierarchical structure of the decision making task for which criteria with errors
will be considered as embedded local criteria.}
