    Project Jagriti: Crowdsourced child abuse reporting
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014) Dhruv Chand, M.; Sankaranarayanan, S.; Sharma, C.
    Child abuse and its myriad forms often go undetected due to the geographically distributed and widespread nature of the crime. The process of reporting is also long and is often used as an excuse to allow the proliferation of these activities. To prevent the crime from going unpunished, this paper introduces a browser based web application and a mobile application called Project Jagriti that uses the power of Crowdsourcing to ensure justice for the child victims. All reports of child abuse filed using the platform are forwarded to the Child Welfare Committee (CWC); a body constituted by the Government of India to oversee child welfare and expedite the process of recovery and rehabilitation of the victims. The platform also provides anonymity for encouraging users. © 2014 IEEE.

    Distributed Adaptive Video Streaming using Inter-Server Data Distribution and Agent-based Adaptive Load Balancing
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020) Bhowmik, M.; Raghunandan, A.; Rudra, B.
    As the number and hours of videos available within an organisation increases, as well as it's demand, the need for fast video streaming applications arises. Cloud based services are not cost effective and are not an ideal choice for storing the ever-increasing video data that is usually stored and used only within a particular organisation, like a University. Hence, this paper proposes a web based system design to store and stream videos at a small-scale within an organisation. To improve the video viewing experience for the user, the system is flexible to handle sudden changes, like increase in number of requests. The system requires the use of a cluster of servers to deliver the content as a single server cannot handle the load as number of requests increases. This requires effective load distribution among the servers. This paper proposes a way to design this system for adaptive video streaming. This system is highly scalable and can handle high loads, i.e. a higher number of users connecting to the application simultaneously. This paper proposes an algorithm called inter-server load balancing algorithm with Adaptive Agent-based load balancing to solve this problem. The algorithms also incorporates dynamic video resolution delivery techniques to ensure smooth viewing experience in the whole user experience irrespective of the network speed and bandwidth. © 2020 IEEE.

    Automated versus Manual Approach of Web Application Penetration Testing
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020) Singh, N.; Meherhomji, V.; Chandavarkar, B.R.
    The main aim of this work is to find and explain certain scenarios that can demonstrate the differences in automated and manual approaches for penetration testing. There are some scenarios in which manual testing works better than automatic scripts/vulnerability scanners for finding security issues in web applications. In some other scenarios, the opposite may be true. The concepts of various web application vulnerabilities have been used for testing, including OWASP1Open Web Application Security Project; online community dedicated to web security Top 10, using both manual and automatic approaches. Automation tools and scripts have been used and tested to see what could potentially go wrong if attackers exploit such vulnerabilities. Also, certain scenarios have been used which determine whether one approach is better than the other for finding/detecting security issues in web applications. Finally, the work concludes by providing results in the form of pros-and-cons of both approaches, which it realises after carrying this out. © 2020 IEEE.
