Application of Probabilistic Principles for Modeling Cyber Threats

Manas Kumar Yogi — 2024-05-17

Applying probabilistic principles for modelling cyber threats represents a pivotal advancement in cybersecurity, offering innovative solutions to address the complexities and uncertainties inherent in today's threat landscape. This paper explores past research works, current trends, and future directions in probabilistic modelling for cyber threat analysis. Past research has demonstrated the effectiveness of probabilistic techniques such as Bayesian networks, Markov models, and Monte Carlo simulations for assessing cyber risks. These approaches enable organizations to quantify cyber threats' likelihood and potential impact by incorporating probabilistic models of threat actor behaviour, system vulnerabilities, and environmental factors. However, there remains a need to explore the integration of machine learning, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and collaborative threat intelligence sharing further to enhance the capabilities of probabilistic modelling in cybersecurity. Future directions for research and development in this area include the development of dynamic and adaptive risk assessment frameworks, integrating behavioural analytics and human factors into probabilistic models, and exploring blockchain and cryptographic solutions for securing decentralized networks. Additionally, collaborative and federated threat intelligence sharing platforms enabled by probabilistic modelling will facilitate greater information sharing and coordination among organizations, helping more proactive and coordinated responses to cyber threats.

Urban Hub: A Transformative Tool for Next-Generation Smart Cities

Ganapathiraju Jashwitha — 2024-06-14

Urban Hub is an online platform specifically developed to tackle the various challenges urban areas face through the effective utilization of technology. This platform is a centralized hub where municipalities, local governments, and residents can collaborate, communicate efficiently, and implement solutions to build more innovative, sustainable cities. In the context of small towns, urban hubs hold immense potential as valuable resources for showcasing local data. By leveraging this platform, smaller urban areas can effectively highlight and share crucial information about their city, such as demographics, infrastructure, services, and more. This visibility helps promote the city's unique aspects and facilitates better urban planning and development decision-making processes. Urban hubs enable small towns to engage with their residents more effectively, fostering a sense of community involvement and empowerment. Urban hub encourages community involvement by integrating participatory governance platforms where residents can voice their opinions on urban planning decisions. Through mobile apps and online portals, citizens can propose ideas, vote on projects, and provide feedback.

Additionally, the urban hub organizes regular community workshops and forums to encourage face-to-face interactions between residents and planners. By leveraging data analytics, urban hub ensures that diverse community needs are identified and addressed. This inclusive approach not only builds trust and transparency but also ensures that urban development aligns with the aspirations and requirements of the community, leading to more successful and sustainable urban planning.

Admission Portal for Technical Course

Vrinda Shetty — 2024-06-28

This paper proposes a digital solution to streamline the application process for technical colleges: an admission portal. It is a one-stop shop for prospective students, simplifying their application journey. Students can research academic programs, including descriptions, faculty profiles, and learning outcomes. The portal facilitates electronic application submission, eliminating physical paperwork. Real-time application status tracking keeps students informed about progress and any necessary actions.

Additionally, the portal enables communication with admissions staff for inquiries and clarifications. The admission portal benefits both students and admissions personnel. By automating tasks like application collection and initial screening, the portal reduces processing time and paperwork for staff, allowing them to focus on personalized attention for applicants. The portal fosters transparency by offering clear information about deadlines, admission criteria, and the selection process, enhancing trust for both students and institutions. Responsive design ensures information access and task completion on the go, using smartphones or tablets. A companion mobile application, "Enquiry App," provides quick access to college details, program information, and contact information. It can include interactive features like virtual campus tours or 360° photos, creating a more immersive experience for prospective students. By implementing an admission portal and a mobile app, technical colleges can create a more efficient, transparent, and user-friendly application process. This simplifies the application journey for students, empowers admissions staff, and enhances the overall institutional image.

College Placement’s Android Mobile Application

Deepa Pattan — 2024-07-01

The College’s Placement's Android mobile application is an information system that helps the Admin (Training and Placement Officer), students, and alums view the eligibility criteria, company details, and the necessary information for training before attending the drives. It is a user-friendly application that provides a comprehensive platform to bridge the gap between students and educational institutions. The colleges’ Training and Placement Cell may use this application to handle student placement information. This application protects user data confidentiality and security. Training placement officials at the institution will not need to gather each student's information individually since it will be updated immediately upon registration. The Firebase database stores details about the students and the companies. This application helps the admin to encounter various issues such as inadequate information about the student, security, etc., and this app consists of three phases, i.e. admin, department coordinator (Dept. coordinator) and student login. By using this mobile application, we can reduce the paperwork and provide real-time notifications of upcoming events, interview schedules, application deadlines and the place details of the student. This app empowers educational institutions by providing analytics on placement details. Hence, it will be easy to identify the unplaced students; ongoing sessions and the curriculum meet with the IT Industries.

Interoperability and Standards in Web Services: Ensuring Seamless Integration across Diverse Systems

Sanjay Kumar — 2024-08-17

In today's digitally interconnected landscape, web services are crucial conduits for seamless communication and collaboration among disparate systems. This article delves into the concept of interoperability within web services, examining the pivotal role that standards play in achieving effective integration across diverse technological environments. Interoperability enables systems—often built on varied technologies and platforms to interact and function together cohesively, which is indispensable for the smooth operation of modern enterprises. The article provides an in-depth analysis of essential standards such as Web Services Description Language (WSDL), Extensible Markup Language (XML), and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), which are fundamental in defining service interfaces, structuring data, and ensuring consistent communication protocols. By offering a common framework for service description, data exchange, and interaction, these standards are integral to facilitating interoperability. The discussion also extends to the challenges inherent in maintaining interoperability, including issues related to versioning, security, and performance. Through this comprehensive examination, the article underscores the importance of adhering to these standards to overcome interoperability hurdles and ensure web services' efficient and secure operation in a complex digital ecosystem.
