Efficient and secured video encryption scheme for lightweight devices
Rajan Gupta, Neeharika Chaudhary, Anika Garg, Saibal K. Pal, 2014, original scientific article

Abstract: Technological advancements in the field of multimedia have made access to information effortless. As information is available easily to everyone so it is quite essential to shield secretive data. This paper focuses on encrypting videos using confusion and diffusion at various levels. Chaotic skew tent map and nested piecewise linear chaotic map which are categorized under piecewise linear maps have been used for the processing. Two skew tent maps are cross coupled with each other to generate random values. The binary sequences are generated by comparing the outputs of the cross coupled piecewise linear chaotic maps. The generated binary sequence is used for bit level diffusion. Further, pixels are shuffled to provide higher level of encryption. The ciphered video is of the same size as that of plain video. The proposed scheme is of low complexity and provides high level encryption. The security analysis of the technique has been carried out and better results have been found regarding the statistical and differential attacks. The code development has been done in MATLAB and the scheme is applicable in areas like Video Encryption, Steganography and Digital Watermarking on various lightweight devices.

Regional e-governance development index for developing nations
Saibal K. Pal, Rajan Gupta, Sunil K. Muttoo, 2020, original scientific article

Abstract: E-governance has proven to be instrumental in the expansion and evolution of how governments interact with and deliver services to their citizens. The United Nations (UN) E-Governance Development Index (EGDI) is the most widely used metric for assessment of e-governance development; however, this metric is not appropriate for assessment at the regional level, especially for developing nations. Therefore, the authors have studied various factors in the context of developing nations, such as the Online Availability and Performance Index, Telecommunications Index, Human Capital Index, E-governance-related Infrastructure Index, and E-governance Performance Index, with the aim of analyzing the success and implementation rate of e-governance activities across the different regions of a developing nation like India. The results showed that the UN's EGDI is not suitable for assessment at a regional level and that adding new components to the model helps to achieve better results for around 30% of the regions under study. The rankings, which were calculated through the new model and compared against other standard indices, obtained good correlations, proving the validity of the new model. India, as a developing nation, was the region selected for the experimental work. Central governments, state governments, investors, stakeholders, and government consultants can obtain benefits through this research.

Implementation & analysis of integrated utility system in developing nation like India
Rajan Gupta, Sunil K. Muttoo, Saibal K. Pal, 2016, original scientific article

Abstract: Public utility systems are prevalent around the world but are struggling in developing nations like India to work efficiently. Integration of different utilities can be a possible solution on the technology front, so that more requests can be handled with lesser problems. This study provides the implementation design and benefits of an already proposed integration system by the same authors. It is found that Data Storage, Access Time, Transaction Cost, security cost and server’s busy time can become more effective if the implementation of integration system can be put in place. The working prototype is based on three utilities (Gas, Power & Water) of Delhi-NCR, India.

Meta-heuristic algorithms to improve fuzzy C-means and K-means clustering for location allocation of telecenters under e-governance in developing nations
Saibal K. Pal, Rajan Gupta, Sunil K. Muttoo, 2019, original scientific article

Abstract: The telecenter, popularly known as the rural kiosk or common service center, is an important building block for the improvement of e-governance in developing nations as they help in better citizen engagement. Setting up of these centers at appropriate locations is a challenging task; inappropriate locations can lead to a huge loss to the government and allied stakeholders. This study proposes the use of various meta-heuristic algorithms (particle swarm optimization, bat algorithm, and ant colony optimization) for the improvement of traditional clustering approaches (K-means and fuzzy C-means) used in the facility location allocation problem and maps them for the betterment of telecenter location allocation. A dataset from the Indian region was considered for the purpose of this experiment. The performance of the algorithms when applied to traditional facility location allocation problems such as set-cover, P-median, and the P-center problem was investigated, and it was found that their efficiency improved by 20%–25% over that of existing algorithms.

Binary division fuzzy C-means clustering and particle swarm optimization based efficient intrusion detection for e-governance systems
Sunil K. Muttoo, Saibal K. Pal, 2016, original scientific article

Abstract: With the rapid rise of technology, many unusual and unwanted patterns have been observed in the communication network andrespective systems. This may be attributed to the increase of external threats that cause many security concerns. Such anomalies and unusual behavior lead to a strong need of studying and designing the Intrusion Detection Systems and Clustering. Currently,a variety of clustering methods and their combinations are used to develop an efficient intrusion detection system, but some metrics like low detection rate and high false alarm rate make these models unsatisfactory. The problem of local minima for clustering technique makes their search ability less efficient. An evolutionary technique called particle swarm optimization algorithm, that is based on swarm intelligence, shows a high global maxima search capability. In this paper, these two techniques have been combined to present a novel approach called fuzzy based particle swarm algorithm for the implementation of intrusion detection system. The experiment was conducted on a new data set called Kyoto data set with more number of anomalies. The obtained results were compared with two traditional clustering techniques based on K-Means and Fuzzy C-Means. It was observed that the proposed algorithm outperformed the other two traditional methods on the basis of the Detection Rate and False Alarm rate. In past some researchers have presented the combination of Fuzzy Based Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm to improve the intrusion detection rate,but this rate has been further improved because the algorithm performance depends on the termination condition and the fitness function value which are new in the proposed algorithm. Moreover, cluster numbers have been considered differently in the past, whereas the proposed algorithm works only on binary clustering.

Converting apprehensive customers to willing customers
Saibal K. Pal, 2017, original scientific article

Abstract: This study focuses on knowing about the factors that can affect the trust levels of the consumers involved in online shopping. Trust has been identified as a prominent factor that ultimately leads to the transformation of the apprehensive customers into willing customers. The role of website design features and portal affiliation is tested regarding their impact in affecting the trusting beliefs of the customers. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was put to use to do the statistical testing on the data collected through students of tier III city of India. The results showed that the website design features have an important role to play in affecting the trusting beliefs of the people whereas portal affiliation didn’t have much of a role. The study implies that the website managers must focus on their design features if they want to gain the trust of their customers. The portal affiliation wouldn’t be fruitful in the case of a student at least. Better shoppers amongst students must be attracted towards portals through innovative designs and features.

Click-through rate estimation using CHAID classification tree model
Rajan Gupta, Saibal K. Pal, 2019, published scientific conference contribution

Abstract: Click-Through Rate (CTR) is referred to as the number of clicks on a particular advertisement as compared to the number of impressions on it. It is an important measure to find the effectiveness of any online advertising campaign. The effectiveness of online advertisements through calculations of ROI can be done through the measurement of CTR. There are multiple ways of detecting CTR in past; however, this study focuses on machine learning based classification model. Important parameters are judged on the basis of user behavior toward online ads and CHAID tree model is used to classify the pattern for successful and unsuccessful clicks. The model is implemented using SPSS version 21.0. The dataset used for the testing has been taken from Kaggle website as the data is from anonymous company’s ad campaign given to Kaggle for research purpose. A total of 83.8% accuracy is reported for the classification model used. This implies that CHAID can be used for less critical problems where very high stakes are not involved. This study is useful for online marketers and analytics professionals for assessing the CHAID model’s performance in online advertising world.
