The subject access control systems is information and communication networks. The purpose is to develop a user authentication method for information and communication systems as an access control system using a zero watermarking algorithm. Objectivs: develop a user authentication method based on zero watermarking, test the proposed method, provide suggestions and recommendations for the further application of the authentication method. To accomplish the defined tasks, the following methods computer simulation of the proposed method to study its characteristics; empirical methods – applying the method and observing the transformation results; tatistical methods – calculating indicators such as Pearson correlation coefficients, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients. Results achieved: novel user authentication method based on a unique zero watermarking algorithm was proposed for the first time within an information and communication system. Suggestions for further application of the method were formulated, and the method was successfully tested. Conclusions. During the study, an authentication method based on a zero watermarking algorithm was proposed, designed to be used as an access control system at industrial enterprises. The method was tested, and the test results confirm its operability and effectiveness. This method has the potential to reduce the cost of two-factor authentication when deploying authentication systems in large enterprises.
