The objective behind the initiative is to handle issues like cyber crimes, harassment, abuse and radicalisation that have come out following the wake of technological advancement.

The other aim behind the launch of training programme by CPF is to build a safe ecosystem of cyber security communities where internet becomes a strength and not a liability for this nation’s youth.

Another objective behind the launch of training programme by CPF is to research on the problems faced online and develop innovative solutions to these problems and also to help youth to expand their knowledge and skills on internet.

About 50 cyber peace clubs will engage five lakh students and educators as a part of this programme of Cyber Peace Foundation.

They will be engaged in topics related to cyber peace and cyber security activities such as a hackathons, global cyber peace challenge and e-raksha competitions.

There is more to it than meets the eye as far as the initiative of Cyber Peace Foundation is concerned.

Taking up student development initiatives like volunteer induction workshops and awareness workshops involving techno-social research experts is also a part of the training programme launched by Cyber Peace Foundation.

A network comprising about 25,000 CyberPeace Corps voluteers will be established as a part of the programme launched by Cyber Peace Foundation.

Some of the topics the training programme of Cyber Peace Foundation will deal are digital citizenship, digital rights and responsibilities, cyber ethics.

Digital etiquette, cyber health and wellness, misinformation, cyber laws and reporting and new technologies such as block chain, IoT Security and Artificial Intelligence are also the topics Cyber Peace Foundation’s training programme will deal with.

AICTE chairman Professor Anil Sahasrabudhe launched the programme of Cyber Peace Foundation.

It is happy to note that the training programme of Cyber Peace Foundation aspires to train more than five lakh students in issues related to cyber security where more than two crore vacancies exist.

Speaking about the training programme, Vineet Kumar, founder and president of Cyber Peace Foundation said cyber attacks have gone up in India and globally during the pandemic.

‘On the National Youth Day, we are delighted to partner with the Ministry of Education and AICTE to up skill half a million students across India in crucial cybersecurity skills.’

AICTE chief coordinating officer Dr. Buddha Chandrasekhar said the increasing frequency of hacker attacks targeting organizational networks has created a need for cybersecurity experts and professionals.

With the initiative launched jointly with Cyber Peace Foundation, we wish to empower more than five lakh students and faculty members and train them on how to defend themselves and create cyber security volunteer and form cyber peace clubs, he said.

As per a statistic there would be 3.5 million unfilled Cybersecurity positions globally by 2021.

With all of these initiatives and activities, the program by Cyber Peace Foundation strives to get more students in the cybersecurity field.

This would ensure presence of enough manpower for cybersecurity positions.

It would also empower the participants to be aware of their digital rights and responsibilities.

The programme by Cyber Peace Foundation will help making safe, smart, informed choices and become hygiene conscious by following healthy online practices, recognize and manage online risk and to become responsible netizens following the rules and regulations.

Cyber Peace Foundation (CPF) is an award-winning civil society organization, think tank of cyber security and policy experts with the vision of pioneering Cyber Peace Initiatives to build collective resiliency against cyber crimes & global threats of cyber warfare.

Cyber Peace Foundation

Key areas of CPF work are in Technology Governance, Policy Review and Advocacy, Capacity and Capability creation and building through partnerships with various government organizations, academic institutions and civil society entities.

IIT Madras and ISRO have led the way in developing and successfully booting an Atmanirbhar aerospace quality SHAKTI-based Semiconductor Chip.

The SHAKTI microprocessor project is led by Prof. V. Kamakoti at Prathap Subrahmanyam Centre for Digital Intelligence and Secure Hardware Architecture (PSCDISHA) in Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Madras.

It aims to promote indigenous development of microprocessor based products that offer best-in-class security and visibility for users adopting RISC-V technology, say sources from IIT Madras.

Development

The ‘IRIS’ (Indigenous RISCV Controller for Space Applications) Chip was developed from ‘SHAKTI’ processor baseline, say sources from IIT Madras.

It can be used in diverse domains from IoT and compute systems for strategic needs, say sources from IIT Madras.

This development was part of the effort to indigenize semiconductors used by ISRO for its applications, Command and Control Systems and other critical functions aligning with its march towards ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ in Space Technologies.

Idea

The ISRO Inertial Systems Unit (IISU) in Thiruvananthapuram proposed the idea of a 64bit RISC-V-based Controller and collaborated with IIT Madras in defining the specifications and designing of the semiconductor chip.

Configuration

The chip configuration was arrived at addressing the common functional and computing requirements of existing sensors and systems used in ISRO missions.

Fault-tolerant internal memories were interfaced to SHAKTI core, enhancing the reliability of the design.

Interface

Custom functional and peripheral interface modules being used in multiple space systems like CORDIC, WATCHDOG Timers and advanced serial buses were integrated.

Provisions for expandability to future missions also implemented through multiple boot modes and hybrid memory/device extension interfaces, say sources from IIT Madras.

The finalized design underwent software and hardware testing, targeting a high-reliability, high-performance product.

It was conceived by IISU Thiruvananthapuram, designed and implemented by IIT Madras, manufactured by SCL, Chandigarh, packaged by Tata Advanced Systems, Ltd at Perjenahalli, Karnataka, Motherboard PCB (Printed Circuit Board) manufactured by PCB Power, Gujarat, motherboard assembled and mounted by Syrma SGS, Chennai, software developed by IITM and successfully booted at IIT Madras.

Director of IIT Madras

Prof. V. Kamakoti, Director, IIT Madras, said after RIMO in 2018 and MOUSHIK in 2020, this is the third SHAKTI chip we have fabricated at SCL Chandigarh and successfully booted at IITM.

That the chip design, chip fabrication, chip packaging, motherboard design and fabrication, assembly, software and boot – all happened inside India, is yet another validation that the complete semiconductor ecosystem and expertise exists within our country, he said.

Chairman of ISRO

Dr. V Narayanan, Chairman, ISRO, said, we at ISRO are very happy that IRIS Controller conceived by IISU based on SHAKTI processor of IIT Madras could be successfully developed end-to-end with Indian resources.

This marks truly a milestone in “Make in India” efforts in semiconductor design and fabrication, he said.

I congratulate all the teams involved, especially the IISU Team led by Padmakumar ES and the IIT Madras team led by Prof. V. Kamakoti.

I am sure that this high-performance controller, realized as per our requirements, will contribute significantly to future embedded controllers for space mission-related applications, he said.

It is planned to flight test a product based on this controller shortly and performance will be confirmed, he said.

IIT Madras

IRIS-LV Processor is fully indigenous and fabricated in SCL’s 180 nm technology node encompassing mask frame design, GDS preparation and testing. Post silicon design validation & extensive electrical testing on wafer-level was conducted at SCL in close collaboration with the IIT Madras team, he said.

SCL is committed and continually working in association with academia and startups to facilitate and achieve Atmanirbharta in the realization of niche products, he said.
