Project: Directed Basic Research in Smart
and Secure Environment
Dr.R.Anitha and Mr.R.S.Sankarasubramanian, Department of Mathematics and Computer Applications got a research project entitled "Directed Basic Research In Smart And Secure Environment" sanctioned by National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO). It is a collaborative research project consisting of eight different institutions and each institution will be getting a fund of Rupees One Crore.
Following are the participating institutions.
IIT Madras, Anna University, Pondichery University, NIT Trichy, PSG College of Technology, Thiagaraja College of Engineering Madurai, Madurai Kamaraj University and Alagappa University.
In the era of Information Technology, trust and privacy are the foremost requirements. In this project a distributed framework will be built for a smart and secure environment to develop applications for secure transaction, non-invasive diagnosis and cure, e-learning and e-banking. This involves profiling an operating system based on a security architecture and then developing a framework for secure transactions. Our part in the project is to provide the security architecture, to produce efficient digital signatures for applications. By designing new algorithms and functions, efficiency of the digital signatures can be improved. Using verifiable encryption as a building block, the problem of dispute if it exists is to be resolved. All the eight institutions will be connected by network and this will be the test bed for this project. In each institution a smart and secure environment lab will be set up.
Duration of this project is Three years.
