23rd June 2007:  Under Graduate Project Competition for cluster Institutions under TEQIP

Prof Suthikshn Kumar, was invited to be one of the judges for the event on "Under Graduate Project Competition for cluster institutions under TEQIP". This competition attracted several colleges funded by World Bank participating. Three winners were selected to receive the prizes. The competition was held at MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology, India  from June 22nd- June 23rd, 2007.

4th June 2007: Innovative approach to teaching Mobile Computing

Teaching engineering courses such as “Mobile Communication” is very challenging indeed. The teacher faces difficulty while  explaining some intricate and difficult concepts to students.  The innovative techniques   developed by Prof Suthikshn Kumar, Director-MCNC, uses several interesting real world analogies and case studies to effectively improve the student understanding of the subject on Mobile communication for both Masters and Bachelors Engineering degree courses. This technique also uses partial similarity.   Case Studies  are presented to students to improve their understanding of the subjects.   A paper describing these innovative techniques entitled " Effective Teaching of Mobile Communication using Real World Analogies and Case studies", will be appearing in the Computer Society of India Communications, July 2007 issue.  A resource CD has also been developed to facilitate the teaching of this subject.

23rd March 2007: Research at MCNC promises to curb Audio Piracy

Audio piracy is undermining multimillion dollar audio industry and robbing millions of dollars from original copyright holders and owners of audio content. This  not only discourages new innovations in music, but also brings down the new investments in audio recording. A solution is being developed at PES Institute of Technology under the leadership of Prof Suthikshn Kumar who is also Director of Mobile communication and Networking Center ( MCNC).  The  innovation  uses steganography to hide copyright information inside the Digital audio and public-key cryptography to authenticate the audio. The owners of the audio copyright, can now prove their copyright and authenticate audio. This technology finds vast application in Digital Rights Management (DRM) enabling  of  new generation music playback devices. The research paper describing this innovation entitled "Steganographic Approach to CopyRight Protection of Audio"  is being presented at the Audio Engineering Society 122^nd Convention to be held in Vienna, Austria during May 5-8, 2007.

9th August 2006:

A Research Breakthrough in Public Key Cryptography: MCNC Director, Prof  Suthikshn Kumar is in the forefront of research breakthrough in public key cryptography.  A long standing problem in public key cryptography has been solved by him. He has innovatively combined two of the well known  mathematical techniques i.e., Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) algorithm and Mandelbrot Sets to develop a Public Key Cryptographic system which requires significantly less number of bits compared to previously developed techniques. A steganogrphic approach to public key distribution has also been developed as a part of this research. The results of his research has been accepted  for presentation at the premier international conference “Military Communication Conference Milcom 2006” to be held in Washington D.C. USA during October 2006. The public key cryptographic systems have applications in banking, network security, credit card transaction systems, etc.  For more details on Milcom 2006 visit www.milcom.org. For details about the algorithm, contact Prof Kumar <suthikshn.kumar@pes.edu>
