Dear Fellow Fraternity,

I am happy to inform you that All IndiaSeminar on “Cyber Security and ImageProcessing” will be organized by theTelangana State Centre on 10th and 11th

August, 2019. This seminar is meant to explore the connectionbetween these two seemingly unrelated areas. There are severalareas of concordance between these two. Protection of imagesand video sent over the internet from tampering and theirauthentication using cyber security/cryptographic tools hasbecome an active area of research. Parallel use of imageprocessing techniques like Visual Cryptography to enable securetransmission of different types of information has opened upnew possibilities.

Visual cryptography involves the segmentation of informationinto mutually exclusive and individually random lookingcomponents and sending them over different paths. Here theadvantage is that even if one of the transmissions is interceptedit cannot reveal any information. This makes it immune againsteven computationally brute force attacks. This is especiallyimportant because it is feared that with the advent of QuantumComputing, Computational Complexity alone cannot provide

security. Use of biometric devices and interfaces like finger print,IRIS and even face has become ubiquitous. This demands thatthe data base is not tampered with.

Steganography has been an area of research for quite sometime. The possibility that steganography can be used to deliverbanned and objectionable content over the internet to childrenand others is very real. This necessitates the development of IPtechniques which will sanitize this hidden content withoutsignificantly affecting the base image. Several new results havebecome available in this area. A related area is the preventionof Video piracy. This again is a potential area of research. It isproposed to discuss in the two-day All India Seminar on ”CyberSecurity and Image Processing” with the following Sub-Themesrelated to the above topics such as: (i) Image and VideoTransmission (ii) Steganography (iii) Visual Cryptography (iv)Cyber Security and more.

As you are kindly aware, Telangana State Centre has been activelyconducting such innovative programmes for the benefit of notonly the budding engineers but also for all interested participantswith a view to learn, unlearn and relearn on different emergingsubjects of today’s importance hope you will all attend and makeit a success.

With regards,

project concerned it was proposed to gofor a single lift.

The following major specif ications:Approach Channel MDDL: 151.45 Mt (510Feet) FSL; Bed level : 147.45 Mt;Approach Channel length: 3 KM; TunnelLength: 1.5 KM; Diameter of Tunnel: 6 Mt;Center line of the pump: 148 Mt; Capacityof the Pumps: 18 MW; Number of Pumps:4 Nos; Height of Lift: 100 Mt.

Various Components of this lift irrigationScheme l ike electr ical equipmenttransformers, transmission lines, auxiliaryequipment, etc., are not discussed here.This is a very unique type of lift schemeerected and commissioned in 2001 andwas the biggest in Asia in those days.Lifting of water in single stage for a heightof 100 Mt is the challenging one. For thisM/s BHEL, Bhopal had designed andsupplied. This part of the work has beentaken up by APGENCO. Shri K PentaReddy, Superintending Engineer hadtaken over the work on behalf ofAPGENCO.

Delivery mains of 3 Mt dia manufacturedwith high tensile steel plates from bottomof the pump house to top level of thecistern level is 247 Mt (FRL).Each pumpcapacity is 600 cusecs i.e. total discharge(4x600 = 2400 cusecs).After f illing thecistern of 0.5 TMC, the water is taken toAkkampally balancing reservoir of 2.5TMC with a link canal of 9 KM length witha carrying capacity of 2400 cusecs waterconducting system. Through this an ayacutof 2.7 Lakh acres in Nalgonda Dist., isbeing irrigated. Apart from this drinkingwater supply to Hyderabad throughkodandapur water supply reservoir. Thisis also a challenge and solution to thedrought affected, f luoride affectedpeople of Nalgonda Dist., and enroute312 Villages.In spite of several challenges,the project was completed andsuccessfully commissioned.
