Within the scope of Industry 4.0 tasks, this paper examines the issue of secure intellectualization of Ukraine's social infrastructure at the level of developing an automated restricted-access information processing system (AIPS with RA) in the Internet of Things (IoT) security segment of a “smart city” (SC) and algorithmic and software implementation using the Python programming language. An analytical review of known methodologies for developing secure automated information processing systems and approaches to ensuring the security of IoT systems was conducted. A qualitative analysis of the segments of a “smart city” – transport, health, energy, ecology – was carried out by grouping them at the level of the classification scheme of the subject area according to the “object – threat – protection” concept. A conceptual model of the subject area “Internet of Things in a ‘smart city’: threats – security technologies” was created based on the principles of system analysis – integrity, hierarchy, and multifacetedness. The criteria for selecting a relational database (RDB), SQLite database management system (DBMS), and Python programming language were justified, and an RDB information model was constructed for further algorithmic and software implementation. An algorithm for the secure operation of an automated information processing system at the authentication procedure level has been presented and, on this basis, a software implementation of the AIPS “Internet of Things in a Smart City: threats – security technologies” using Python for the segments: “smart transport”, “smart health”, “smart energy”, “smart ecology” at the web application level.
