Decentralized Identity and Verifiable Credential System using Blockchain

Research Objective: To develope a user-friendly interface for identity verification, allowing aouthorities to easily issue credentials, and verifier to verify them securely.

This project implements a Decentralized Identity (DID) and Verifiable Credential (VC) system using blockchain technology. It enables secure issuance, storage, verification, and revocation of digital credentials without relying on centralized authorities.

Distributed File System (DFS) with GUI

Research Objective: To create a user-friendly interface for a distributed file system, allowing users to easily upload, download, and manage files across multiple nodes.

This project is a basic Distributed File System prototype designed for academic purposes. It demonstrates File Upload & Download, Block-level File Splitting (128MB), Full File Replication Across 4 Nodes, and a User-Friendly GUI (Tkinter).

Presence: Smart Attendance App

Research Objective: To investigate the viability of facial recognition and geo-fencing as a secure, dual-factor authentication method for attendance systems in academic institutions.

Developed a secure attendance app using a TensorFlow Lite Face-net model (99.82% accuracy) and Google Maps API. This work was a Top 2 finisher in the Smart India Hackathon 2022.

Brahmi Script OCR

Research Objective: To explore the application of modern OCR engines for the digitization and preservation of ancient, low-resource scripts like Brahmi.

Built an Android app using the Tesseract OCR engine with a custom-trained language model to recognize Brahmi script from images and transliterate it to Devnagari Hindi.

AI Virtual Mouse

Research Objective: A research project into novel Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) techniques, aiming to create a touchless pointing system using only a standard webcam.

This system is controlled by right-hand gestures, using OpenCV for real-time hand-landmark detection and a state-machine for robust gesture classification.

Parking Tracker App

An Android application designed to simplify booking parking slots and providing real-time vehicle tracking using Google Maps integration.

Virtual Reality Tour

A mobile application built in Unity Engine, allowing users to experience immersive virtual reality tours using panoramic images.

Network Analysis Tool

An Android app developed in Java which can scan WiFi networks, displaying signal strength, distance, network type, MAC address, and other key metrics.

Password Manager

A secure password manager for Android built with robust AES-256 encryption, biometric authentication, and secure backup options.
