4S Framework: A practical CPS Design Security assessment and Benchmarking framework
Publisher : Willey
In this chapter we present a Cyber-Physical System(CPS) benchmarking framework - 4S. The framework is used to perform quality assurance test of a Cyber-Physical system while it is still in its design phase. In this chapter, We have explained the need for a comprehensive framework for security assessment of MCPSs and have proposed one, named 4S (Step-by-Step, Systematic, Score Based, Security Pivotal) Assessment & Benchmarking Framework. An incisive assessment on a hypothetical MCPS has been carried out to illustrate the use of the proposed framework.

Publisher : IEEE
Advances in technology have given rise to several techniques that can easily generate fake images or videos. Deepfakes and spliced images are some of the results of such advances. They pose a great menace to the internet Tackling and detecting such an entity is a tricky task. Our paper portrays a technique to detect such entities. It will assist people in detecting bogus content and have confidence in the legitimacy of the content on the internet We present a description of CNN based approach and evaluate its results. The drawbacks of the traditional approach have been minimized using Inception Residual Network architecture-based CNNs.

Publisher : Springer
Two peculiar problems that come into the picture when considering road security are first, lack of availability of automated, intelligent and feasible systems on motorways that can detect vulnerabilities in passing automobiles and second, knowability and visibility of any security mechanism used for checking the vehicles is an easy task for anyone traveling by the road under surveillance. This chapter introduces an intelligent cop assisting system TIE (The Invisible Eye). The system senses parameters that aren’t direct knowable by anyone at their first glance on the vehicle like weight, etc, and makes them available to the security personnel(s) deployed to check those vehicles. Also, the system would provide a vulnerability index and it can be deployed in an unnoticeable way.

Publisher : IEEE
A research paper in which we try to Prevent app repackaging attacks on Android apps. The App is developed in Kotlin, a language more powerfull than java along with a feature of null safety. We use progurad to obfuscate the source code of our app. Any attacker who decompiles the apk will not be able to understand the code and modify it.

Confection Connection
A portal to allow customers to order cake online. A Customer can view the varieties of cake online and order his/ her favourite flavour. The portal is developed using Active Server Pages (ASP). The backend used is MS Access.
Source Code:-Handiazza
A portal to aid college students with profile building and finding internships. The portal allows students to build their profile for the recruiters to see. Based on the student profiles they are filtered to a recruiter according to the nature of the internship. The portal employs Fuzzy Logic to improve the recommendations and maintain the relevance level of the recommendations. The students can also interact with teachers through live chat implemented using web sockets. Teachers can view student profiles and guide them to build a better profile and also solve any queries regarding the lecture. The portal is developed uing Java Server pages(JSP) ,node.js and bootstrap.
Source Code:ARJUN
A portal that allows a user to browse courses from various sources like Udemy, Coursera, Edx, Youtube. It allows user to compare courses. It allows the user to personalize his/hers search. The portal learn the skill set of the user and recommends appropriate courses according to his/hers skill set. It recommends courses to the user that other similar users are opting for. The portal incorporates a chat bot to assist the user. The portal can dynamically be translated to 8 Indian languages and the chat bot can communicate via speech and text in these languages. This Project won us the prize at JU hackathon
Pseudo-AI
A Multimedia forgery detection system. The system uses deep learning to learn the features in an image. The image is fed into a Convolutional Neural Network(CNN). The CNN will classify the image as fake or real. The system encompasses two different models to be able to work on Spliced images as well as deepakes. This system will assit people in determining the genuineness of an image. Since fake images and videos spread easily through social media platforms, this system will help curb the spread.
