“Telephone of the Serbian James Bond”

INIS achieved significant successes in cooperation with colleagues from the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Belgrade. One of these successes is the participation in the Science Festival for young people, where “Telephone of the Serbian James Bond” was shown. These are three integrated applications used in Intelligence. The idea was to bring mathematics closer to children and young people in a new way and to show all the possible applicability of mathematics in Security Science. The first application is software for recognizing faces and shapes that is integrated with the second application TOC Search or Database of Terrorists and Organized Criminals. The third application is the Application for secure communication with 512-megabit encryption. In order to better show the applications and how they are used, a small feature film was made. For the needs of the film, a fictional scenario was created, the action of which begins in one of the local cafes, where the famous Italian drug dealer Don Spagettone appeared. Teams were sent to positively identify him and inform the security administration about it. After the positive identification, an arrest was made.

The Institute is a scientific society with the aim of promoting the science of security, as such it was recognized by the Government of the Republic of Serbia, with a letter from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development (registration number: 451-03-2481/2019-14), also the Institute has an exclusive contract with Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia in the form of “scientific diplomacy“. OID E10352545 is the number of the Institute INIS (Organization ID (OID) is the unique identifier of the institution used for participation in Erasmus+ projects).

During this year, the journal received the important “ERIHPLUS” indexation.  (http://www.securityscience.edu.rs/index.php/journal-security-science)

Terrorist and Organized Criminal Search DataBase

TOC-search

INIS gathers academicians, researchers, and scholars to share information and expertise through research papers, situation reports, and academic publications for worldwide distribution. It is important to underline that INIS administers the largest public domain research database on terrorism and organized crimes. The TOC-search (Terrorist and Organized Criminal Search DataBase) is a dynamic database that offers comprehensive information on global terrorist networks and helps researchers, analysts, students, and others work to prevent terrorism. INIS’s work and influence as a think-tank was recognized in the National and International frame, which resulted that INIS is only one of his kind which signed Memorandum of Cooperation between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Institute for National and International Security in the area of scientific diplomacy.
