| 1 | Project Title : Toward Securing-Tracing apps related to Covid-19
Expected Outcome : To develop a Lightweight cryptographic algorithm to secure location data which can preferably work with ‘Arogya Setu App’ Expected Timeline : 6-8 weeks Remarks : From the emergence of Covid-19, the primary focus of governments across the world is contact tracing of the effected person. To achieve this, most of the governments use smartphone data to track where people go and with whom they interact. In this regard, Government of India is also using ‘Arogya Setu App’ successfully. These so-called contact-tracing apps help public health officials get ahead of the spread of Covid-19. However, the downside is the inherent loss of privacy. If abused, raw location data of a person could reveal sensitive information related to that person using the app. Therefore, this work proposes to develop a lightweight cryptographic algorithm such that sensitive location data can be securely transferred to the destination without being compromised.

| 4 | Project Title : Preparation and Distribution of alcohol and aloe vera (herbal) based Hand Sanitizers
Expected Outcome : Production of alcohol based Hand-sanitizers Expected Timeline : 1-1.5 Months Remarks : In view of the present situation with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, WHO, Ministry of Home and Family Welfare recommended to use the alcohol based hand sanitizers. As a social service and outreach activity, I am proposing to produce alcohol based low cost and effective hand sanitizer based on the recommendations of WHO. At initial level, I am proposing to make 30 L of hand sanitizer. In future, based on the demand and requirement, more amount of the hand sanitizers will be produced. The hand sanitizer will supplied in 500 mL bottles and 100 mL bottles. URL : PI Details : Dr. Alok Garg, Assistant Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering PI Email id : alok.garg@nith.ac.in |
