So my research papers finally got published and I'm what they would call a published research scholar now.
Bells chime in the distance. Tremendous academic snobbery ensues.
So here are the links to the papers and their abstracts.
The first is on Symmetric Cryptography, and is the one I am most proud of, because I'd been working non-stop from January for this.
Title: RASS — A Concurrency Based Bitwise Symmetric Key Cryptographic Algorithm
Abstract: The security and strength of any cryptosystem's encryption depend on the
difficulty, both in terms of time and technique, of cracking the
message. This paper suggests a bit cipher, a symmetric key cryptographic
algorithm which provides bit-level security with linear time complexity
and robust security (two 16 bit keys), and uses optimal time compared
to other such ciphers by implementing concurrency through
multithreading.
The next two are on Image Processing and were really interesting because the topic was new to me and I had to learn on the run with some help from my professors and a lot of help from Google.
Title: Segmentation-based Image Compression
Abstract: In this paper, a procedure for segmentation-based image compression is
suggested. Two types of segmentation techniques are used, namely
threshold and region growing algorithms, and JPEG is applied to obtain
the final compressed result, which provides better ratios compared to
standalone compression algorithms.
Title: Hindu-Arabic Character Recognition using Mathematical Morphology
Abstract: Presentation of a novel decision tree based method to improve the
ability of hand written character recognition using mathematical
morphology. For this paper, classification of hand written digits is
done into two groups: one with blob and another without blob. This paper
proposes the recognition of digits using certain features that can
distinguish one digit from the other.
This research was one of the few good things that happened to me this year.
Until next time.
