Student creates record
SRM University AP was again a centre of attraction in the recent times when its student Vyshnavi Garipelly created a Guinness World Record through pioneering research using blockchain technologies implemented on cybersecurity.

The research work of SRM University AP student was published in on International Conference on Recent Challenges in Engineering and Technology (ICRCET) on 30 October this year.

Vyshnavi is currently studying final year in Computer Science and Engineering at SRM University AP.

Blockchain enables security systems, deployed in organizations, to use distributed key public
infrastructure to authenticate devices and users.

Blockchain’s robust DNS entry approach can improve security by removing a single target that can be compromised.

At the same time, it provides the ability to resolve single attack points and multiple targets, such as a database, network, or data centre, at a single access point.

It also provides the ability to resolve a single point of attacks while simultaneously resolving multiple target attacks, such as a server-sided attack.

The student of SRM University AP explored the possibility of Blockchain Technology into two significant areas of Cyber Security.

The first area which Vyshnavi of SRM University AP explored was ‘implementing security in private message.’

With the internet shrinking the world into a global village, more and more people are joining
social media.

The number of social media platforms is also on the rise. More social apps are being launched with each dawn as conversational commerce gains popularity.

These attacks resulted in data breaches with millions of accounts being hacked and user information landing into the wrong hands.

Blockchain technologies, if well implemented in these messaging systems, may prevent such future cyberattacks.

The other area which SRM University AP student explored was ‘transaction security developed by Coin App.

Coin App is an easy-to-use cryptocurrency application for resource-constrained businesses that are not currently equipped to handle the ledger information securely.

Coin App replaces third-party transaction vendors and it keeps all transactional data between two peers encrypted.

The boosted level of security helps companies to keep transparent records in a public sphere.
