  • Publication number: 20160224851
    Abstract: A computer implemented system and method for extracting and recognizing alphanumeric characters from traffic signs is envisaged. A camera present in the system is adapted to be mounted on the vehicle for capturing images of traffic signs. The system then gives a region of interest (ROI) within the frame of the captured image, from where the alphanumeric characters are extracted and enhanced for recognition. For recognizing the enhanced alphanumeric characters, the image is converted to binary image and morphological thinning technique is applied on it. The space then obtained between two alphanumeric characters thus helps in extracting the characters and recognizing them independently from the captured image. For each extracted alphanumeric character is re-sized to a specified size and is recognized with the help of white pixels count. Once the alphanumeric characters are recognized they are displayed on a display.

  • Patent number: 9368124
    Abstract: A computer implemented system for audio watermarking for providing robust and blind audio watermarking. The system comprises a watermark embedding system wherein an audio signal is divided into audio frames, multi-level District Wavelet Transform (DWT) is applied on each frame, followed by Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and embedding the watermark, further followed by inverse SVD and inverse DWT to get watermarked audio frames which are combined to generate a watermarked audio signal. The system further comprises watermark extracting detection system wherein the watermarked audio signal which may be attacked and/or modified is divided into watermarked audio frames, multilevel DWT is applied on each watermarked audio frame, followed by SVD, extracting the embedded watermarked, correlating the extracted watermark with pre-stored watermarks, calculating Peak to Sidelobe ratio (PSR) from the correlation coefficient arrays and finally comparing each PSR with a threshold to authenticate the embedded watermark.

  • Publication number: 20160112381
    Abstract: A system(s) and method(s) for secure session establishment and secure encrypted exchange of data is disclosed. The system satisfies authentication requirement of general networking/communication systems. It provides an easy integration with systems already using schemes like DTLS-PSK. The system follows a cross layer approach in which session establishment is performed in a lightweight higher layer like the application layer. The system then passes resultant parameters of such session establishment including the session keys to a lower layer. The lower layer like the transport layer is then used by the system to perform channel encryption to allow exchange of encrypted data based on a cross layer approach, over a secure session. As the exchange of data becomes the responsibility of the lower layer like the transport layer, the data is protected from replay attacks since the transport layer record encryption mechanism provides that kind of protection.

  • Publication number: 20160078217
    Abstract: A computer implemented system and method for generating and recovering an authorization code. The system creates an authorization code by accepting a base-sentence from a user. Based on the characters present in this base-sentence, the system computes a base-sentence matrix. The system also generates a plurality of patterns. The user can either select the pattern from the multiple patterns suggested by the system or can create his/her own pattern. The system then performs multiplications between the base-sentence matrix and the selected pattern matrix at different stages in the path forward, for obtaining a strong authorization code. In case the user forgets the base sentence, the system also has provisions to manage forgotten authorization code. This is done by fragmenting the base-sentence into different matrices and storing the fragmented matrices into a repository after computing matrix multiplication with a security question answer and with a secret key provided by the user.

  • Patent number: 9269362
    Abstract: A method and system for blind audio watermarking has been envisaged. The system embeds an in-audible watermark by modifying a predetermined singular value in the wavelet domain. The generated watermarked audio signals are robust again Gaussian noise and other watermark removal and compression attacks. Also, the system can perform watermark extraction/detection in real-time without requiring in advance, either the original audio signal or its processed parameters. Thereby, the method and system provide a real-time, efficient technique for blind audio watermarking.

  • Patent number: 8931060
    Abstract: A system and method for online authentication having at least two levels of authentication has been disclosed. The two levels of authentication provide total security of privileged information by requiring users to authenticate themselves in two stages/levels. The first level of authentication involves simple alphanumeric password verification, which if successful, is followed by a second level of graphical password verification. The graphical password verification is based on the novel concept of challenging users with a dotted grid to enable users to create a non-definable vector pattern of definitive lines by sequentially joining pre-determined dots in the grid.

    Abstract: A hybrid telecommunication system for providing data to a requesting mobile device has been disclosed. The system includes a base station server adapted to receive the data request signals. The base station server is adapted to sense the density of current data signals on the conventional wireless network and subsequently redirect at least some of the received data request signals from the conventional wireless network to the hybrid data server connected to a wireline network in the event that the density of data signals present on the conventional wireless network exceeds a pre-determined threshold value. Once the data request signals are redirected to the hybrid data server, the rest of the communication to and from the requesting mobile device takes place through a private, wireless communication bandwidth.
