Descriptions of the Cooperative Research Project

  • How collaboration will be carried out, with clear statements of what role Japanese and Indian researchers will play respectively in a proposed project.
This research focuses on design and analysis of cryptographic algorithms and protocols, and also on technologies for enhancing network security, which use specific mathematical argument for their analysis and evaluation. japan side already proposed many schemes and have implemented, though their argument of security is not enough. Whereas indian side has many strong research stuffs who have sophisticated techniques with mathematical theory. Therefore, each side takes the following role in this project:
  • Japan side: Design cryptographic algorithms including protocols, and implementation with developing prototype. Also gathering information on network incident data and modeling them.
  • India side: Analysis and Prove the security of cryptographic algorithms and protocols with algorithmic/mathematical theory including combinatorics, statistics, number theory etc.
Note that modifying models and revising design are planning to be done by both Japan and India, also with collaborating discussion.
