The Cherenkov interaction of electrons with plasma oscillations excited by the ions reflected from the front of strong shock waves is examined as a possible mechanism for the acceleration of electrons to ultrarelativistic energies by strong shock waves. The energy spectrum of the accelerated electrons in the ultrarelativistic energy region is described by a power-law relationship with a constant exponent of 2. The angular distribution of the electrons is strongly anisotropic since the acceleration occurs mostly along the field lines. The shape of the spectrum of the synchrotron emission of the accelerated electrons is determined with allowance for the increasing isotropy of their distribution and synchrotron energy losses.
