 Abstract

As quantum computing advances, traditional cryptographic methods face significant threats from quantum algorithms, necessitating the development of quantum-resistant encryption systems. This paper explores a modified cryptographic algorithm combining lattice-based encryption techniques with enhanced noise, larger key sizes, and increased modulus values to resist quantum attacks. Utilizing Google's Cirq quantum simulator, the robustness of the algorithm against quantum period-finding techniques is evaluated, showing minimal or no detectable periodicity. These findings underscore the effectiveness of the proposed method for quantum resistance. This framework is especially applicable to IoT and cloud environments, offering long-term data protection and resilience in noisy communication channels.

 Abstract

This project aims to develop an advanced communication system called SignSpeak, designed to bridge the gap between spoken language and sign language, thereby promoting greater inclusivity for individuals with hearing and speech impairments in public interactions and official functions. In many real-world scenarios, the absence of sign language interpreters poses a significant communication barrier, often excluding hearing- impaired individuals from accessing essential information. The existing solutions involve stitching together video clips, based on the input text. These solutions are not scalable and moreover the actions rigid and lacks real time feedback loop. SignSpeak addresses this challenge by leveraging Automatic Speech Recognition and Natural Language Processing to capture and semantically interpret real-time speech input. The processed text is then translated into sign language using a Sign Language Generation model, which is rendered through an expressive virtual avatar capable of conveying sign language gestures accurately and naturally. By automating the entire speech-to-sign language conversion pipeline, the system eliminates the dependency on human interpreters, ensuring scalability, cost-effectiveness, and consistent accuracy across diverse environments such as government offices, hospitals, educational institutions, and public events. Ultimately, SignSpeak offers a robust, real-time, and scalable solution that enhances communication accessibility, promotes digital inclusivity, and empowers the hearing-impaired community by enabling equal participation in society through improved access to spoken information.

 Abstract

In contemporary software frameworks, the ability to dynamically manage networks and ensure robust security is essential. This study introduces a secure and scalable reverse proxy server that incorporates sophisticated load balancing and extensive security measures to address these needs. The design features TLS/SSL termination, rate limiting, and a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to defend against threats like DDoS, SQL injection, and XSS. Additionally, it offers detailed logging for monitoring and troubleshooting. To enhance performance, the proxy utilizes HTTP caching and effective load balancing techniques, such as round-robin and weighted round-robin, to alleviate backend load and enhance response times. The archi- tecture is equipped with auto-scaling capabilities: internal load balancing among worker processes and external balancing across upstream servers ensure high availability and fault tolerance. For instance, health checks enable the proxy to identify failed servers and redirect traffic, maintaining service continuity during partial failures. The system was tested under various loads, showing that it efficiently distributes traffic and scales with demand while maintaining secure and resilient network operations.

 Abstract

Health insurance fraud results in significant financial losses and necessitates scalable, intelligent detection methods. This work presents a modular and unsupervised framework for fraud detection in healthcare claims by integrating semantic feature extraction, heterogeneous graph modeling, and anomaly detection. Structured claim metadata and unstructured clinical narratives are embedded using transformer-based models to capture rich contextual information. These embeddings are incorporated into a heterogeneous graph that connects patients, providers, and claims, enabling the use of graph neural networks to learn complex relational patterns indicative of fraudulent behavior. A graph-based representation is constructed using synthetic yet realistic healthcare data generated in standard clinical formats. Contextual node embeddings are learned, and clustering methods are applied to identify latent behavioral patterns. Unsupervised anomaly detection techniques, including tree-based and distance-based models, are employed to flag suspicious entities. A provider-level risk scoring mechanism is introduced to prioritize investigation efforts. This framework is designed to operate without reliance on labeled data, ensuring adaptability to evolving fraud strategies and generalizability across diverse claim scenarios. Experimental evaluation shows the system's effectiveness in uncovering subtle fraud signatures, highlighting its potential as a robust alternative to traditional rule-based approaches.

 Abstract

In modern urban environments, the enforcement of traffic regulations remains a significant challenge due to increasing vehicle density and limited enforcement personnel. This project presents a scalable, AI-driven traffic violation monitoring system that automates the detection, documentation, and notification of traffic offenses such as helmet non-compliance and stop-line crossing. The system leverages a YOLO-based object detection model for real-time analysis of CCTV feeds, coupled with image processing techniques for accurate violation identification. An integrated OCR-based ANPR module extracts license plate numbers from captured frames, enabling automated challan generation and offender identification. The backend, powered by a Flask server, manages violation records, initiates Stripe-based payment processing, and renders geo-visualizations through Google Maps API. To enhance field responsiveness, a GPS-enabled Android application tracks traffic officers and dispatches Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) alerts to nearby personnel upon violation detection. Additional features include WhatsApp notifications and Google Text-to-Speech (TTS) announcements to expand alert reach and improve engagement. Tested in simulated environments mimicking urban intersections, the system demonstrated high accuracy in de- tection and efficient communication workflows. With support for automated alerts, digital payments, and real-time enforcement coordination, the proposed architecture offers a comprehensive and responsive solution for modern traffic law enforcement systems.

 Abstract

Optimizing power consumption in a variety of applications, including HVAC, smart homes, and industrial systems, is imperative due to the growing demand for energy- efficient solutions. Significant energy waste from unnecessary motor operation frequently raises operating expenses and has an adverse effect on the environment. In order to overcome this difficulty, the project creates an intelligent energy management module that uses the current room temperature to dynamically regulate motor speed. The system makes sure motors only run when necessary, lowering power consumption and preserving ideal environmental conditions by using a sensor to continuously monitor the surrounding temperature and a microcontroller to proportionately adjust motor speed. By preventing abrupt oscillations, this proportional, smooth control enhances motor longevity and stability. The system is made to integrate easily with IoT platforms, allowing for improved automation and remote monitoring. Efficiency will be further increased by upcoming developments like cloud analytics and predictive control based on machine learning. By automating motor control and reducing wasteful energy use in temperature- sensitive applications, this project advances sustainable energy management.

 Abstract

Continuous monitoring of psychiatric and elderly patients is essential for ensuring safety and timely intervention in critical healthcare environments. Many elderly patients may be unable to express pain whenever care is actually crucial. Traditional wearable-based systems often fall short due to discomfort, limited compliance, and inability to detect abnormal disturbances among patients in real-time. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a doctor to population ratio of 1:1000; however, India currently averages only 1 doctor per 1500 people. To address these limitations and bridge the gap in scenarios lacking human supervision, this paper proposes a non- intrusive, vision-based framework for real-time abnormal activity detection in elderly people and for psychiatric patient monitoring using a deep learning framework integrated with alert system. The system combines YOLOv8 and DeepSORT for identification and tracking the patient. For behavioral analysis, two deep learning models were compared: a shallow 3D Convolutional Neural Network (3D CNN) and a hybrid MobileNetV2 model combined with GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit). Experimental results demonstrate that the MobileNetV2-GRU model outperforms the shallow 3D CNN in fall detection and for violence detection, the MobileNetV2-LSTM model is employed due to its superior ability to capture temporal features. Upon detecting abnormality in patients, the system triggers real-time alerts to caregivers via the Twilio API. Future work will focus on improving the robustness of the identity tracking module and extending the framework to multi- subject environments.

Efficient food identification systems face challenges with the wide range of food categories and the high computational demands associated with extremely complex dishes. There is a need for a real-time solution that not only detects the food but also identifies its possible allergens and nutritional content, enabling efficient identification before distribution to those in need. Such a solution should ensure safe, accurate, and effective food identification in advance. This helps not only to reduce food waste but also to combat hunger. The proposed system's performance is evaluated using a confusion matrix, which helps assess model accuracy by displaying correctly and incorrectly classified data points and highlighting misclassification patterns. In our work, the ResNet50 model shows 85-90% accuracy with a loss of 0.3 on simple food images, but accuracy decreases with more complex food items. In contrast, InceptionV3, benefiting from multi-scale processing, achieves 88-92% accuracy with a loss of 0.25, demonstrating higher precision and recall with visually complex dishes. When combining ResNet50 and InceptionV3 through a stacking ensemble, performance significantly increases, reaching an overall accuracy of 93%, showing a substantial enhancement in classification accuracy across diverse food images.

Modern DevOps pipelines prioritize speed, effi- ciency, and automation but often overlook the cognitive state of the human operators managing them. Prolonged deployment ses- sions and critical incident handling can lead to stress, fatigue, and distraction, increasing the likelihood of human-induced errors. This paper proposes an AI-Augmented DevOps framework that integrates real-time cognitive monitoring into CI/CD workflows. The system employs standard webcams for emotion recognition (DeepFace), eye aspect ratio-based fatigue detection (MediaPipe), and computer vision (OpenCV) to assess operator state. Based on detected cognitive strain, the framework can pause ongoing deployments or issue rest alerts via seamless integration with GitHub Actions. A Streamlit-based dashboard provides real- time visualization of cognitive metrics and operational status. Experimental evaluation in a simulated CI/CD environment demonstrated ?90% emotion detection accuracy, ?95% fatigue detection accuracy, and sub-2-second trigger latency, showing the potential of cognitive-aware DevOps systems in reducing operational risk and enhancing developer well-being.

 Abstract

Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lung primarily affecting the small air sacs known as alveoli caused by microorganism infection which can be viral or bacterial. It remains a critical public health concern worldwide, particularly in low resource settings, affecting severely specific age groups such as newborns & infants under 2 years old and adults above 65, due to their weak immune system. While Chest radiograph imaging is the most well-known screening approach used for detecting pneumonia in the early stages, its blurry and low illumination nature may call forth human error in manual diagnosis. Hence, the contribution of this work is the development of a two-stage pneumonia detection Expert System fusing the capabilities of both ensemble convolutional networks and the Transformer mechanism. In the first stage, a binary classification ensemble model is employed to detect whether a given chest X-ray indicates pneumonia or not. Upon a positive detection, the second stage activates a multi-class classification ensemble model that further categorizes the pneumonia into viral or bacterial, thus providing a finer level of diagnostic detail. The ensemble learning extracts strong features from the raw input X-ray images in two different scenarios: ensemble A (i.e., DenseNet201, Xception and InceptionResNet V2) and ensemble B (i.e., DenseNet201, Xception and VGG-16). The proposed ensemble deep learning model recorded 95.95% classification performance in terms of overall accuracy and F1-score for the binary classification task, while it achieved 88.57% for multi-classification task. To ensure that the diagnosis is not only automated but also interpretable to end-users, including healthcare professionals, the model is fed to an expert system where users can upload X-ray images, get a classification result and see the highlighted region which supports the diagnosis through Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations (LIME), a black box testing strategy. The proposed framework could provide promising and encouraging explainable identification performance compared to the individual or existing ensemble models building trust of users and healthcare professionals on the result.

 Abstract

Blackhole attacks in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) pose significant threats to data integrity and network reliability. These attacks involve malicious nodes diverting or dropping data packets, disrupting communication, and compromising network integrity. Existing loopholes in wireless sensor network defences include vulnerabilities in encryption protocols and limited scalability of anomaly detection algorithms. By leveraging advanced cryptographic techniques and anomaly detection algorithms like Quantum cryptography, it aims to identify and mitigate the impact of malicious nodes within the network. Additionally, anomaly detection algorithms continuously monitor network behavior to detect deviations indicative of blackhole attacks. Through simulations and experimental factors, a defense mechanism to establish secure communication channels between sensor nodes and base stations, safeguarding data transmission against interception and manipulation is designed. This enhances the security posture of WSNs, resulting in the effectiveness of the approach in mitigating the impact of blackhole attacks.
