Research Projects:

Project Title: An Efficient Software Defined Network (SDN) - based Framework for Big Data Processing in Cloud Data Center

From: 15/08/2017 To 15/08/2019

Summary: In recent years, there has been an exponential increase in the Internet-enabled devices which are used for cooperative data sharing and information processing by the end users from different network locations. These devices may generate a lot of data which varies with respect to the volume, velocity, variety, varcity, and value. There may be different sources of data from which the data with respect to these attributes can be generated and processed using different data mining techniques. The sources of big data generation may be transportation systems, healthcare domain, or from social websites. To process such as large collection of database repository is one of the biggest challenges in this type of environment. Moreover, the data generated from these Internet-enabled devices need to be accessed from any location in a distributed manner. In this direction, cloud computing can be one of the solutions as it provides seamless connection to various smart objects, such as smart phones, PDAs, smart vehicles, or smart home appliances which may be distributed geographically. Cloud computing can be viewed as a distributed database repository from which various smart devices can access data as per their needs. This complex large-scale computing technology need to store, process and analyze large amounts of datasets as many organizations are adopting it. In this project, SDN-based framework would be designed to process the large datasets generated from various sources in the cloud environment in an efficient manner.

Project Title: Authentico: Aadhar based Authentication

From: 15/05/2017 To 15/05/2018

Summary: Authentico on the whole will be Aadhaar based person identity authentication system with instant verification. This project aims to make who of the authentication process easy, reliable and fast. It will make easier for the person who has to provide an identity without even carrying his proof; just their fingerprints could also help them get their identity verified. It will also help the person who has to check the identity and verify them as it will be easier, automatic and fast. With the means of this we aim to achieve the goal of truth, legitimate use, and the main agenda of our government to eliminate falsie works.

Description of Research Interests:

Intrusion detection model is created to identify anomalies and possibility of attacks. Based on analysis of dataset by intrusion recognition model alert reports are generated. Machine learning approaches can be used to create intrusion detection model. The anomaly based approaches can be used to detect zero day attacks but these have high rate of false alarms. This technique also experience low accuracy rate. Hybrid approaches can be used to find known and unknown attacks but are quite complex and takes longer time to generate alerts. These issues are open research challenges in the field of anomaly based IDS. Anomaly detection techniques with high accuracy, low false alarms and less detection time are required.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is integrations of computation, networking, and physical processes. Technological advances in computing, communications, and control, have set the stage for a next generation of engineered systems, called cyber-physical systems (CPS). These systems can potentially be important in overcoming many challenges in energy, environment, transportation, and health care. Autonomous driving research can be used to solve traffic problem in Smart City. Machine Learning approaches along with CPS will helps in solving various issues of today’s city of congested traffic.
