International Webinar - Global ID Through BlockchainRishabh Garg
Cumbrous documentation, unsolicited expenses, undue involvement of intermediaries, and frequent data hacks, are some of the major roadblocks that deprive millions of individuals from having an official identity. The present talk aims to introduce a DLT enabled All-inclusive ID - 'Self Sovereign Identity' to ensure organized and sustainable change at Global level.
Techno Smart Card : Digital ID for Every IndianRishabh Garg
Digital ID with Electronic Surveillance System is a combination of Multipurpose ID Card, carrying a twenty-digit unique identification number to record the entire life time data of a citizen, and a Smart Mobile Phone for Electronic Surveillance. Both the units can work separately or together. Such a unique Techno-Smart Device would replace all possible documents - Birth Certificates, Aadhar, Passport, Driving License, PAN, Insurance, Bank Account Numbers ................
Thus, the present innovation would make the life of every individual on Earth free from redundant documentation and would serve as a rescue from practice of forged identity, deception and corruption.
Multi purpose ID : A Digital Identity to 134 Crore IndiansRishabh Garg
Multipurpose ID is a combination of a Techno Smart Card carrying a twenty-digit universal identification number to record all purposeful information of an individual and a touch screen Smart Cell Phone for electronic surveillance. Both the units can work separately or together. Such a unique system would replace all possible documents procured by an individual during his life time.
Apart from saving human resources, time, money and administrative complexities, the stack of files and papers in offices would also be reduced to fractional level. No Xerox, no documentation, no verification and no long queues for day-to-day pursuits. Just go for one click and the entire details of an individual would be available, that too fully genuine.
The Nation would have a red letter day as the change will shape billion lives and bring respite to administrative machinery and public that has crumpled under the red tapism.

An Efficient Buyer - Seller Protocol to Identify the PerpetratorIDES Editor
Digital watermarks are used to prevent the possession
and transmission of copyright intellectual property over the
internet. Digital watermarking system is playing an
irrevocable role in privacy-preserving, buyer-seller
communication and e-commerce of digital content. In the past,
many buyer-seller protocols have been proposed to address
the copyright issues. Most of these protocols are only
protecting digital copyright of the digital content. This paper
proposes a new efficient buyer seller watermarking protocol
for secure digital transaction and to identify the Perpetrator
who actually pirates the digital content. To implement this
system we use a multi layerTerminate and Stay Resident

CASE STUDY ON PKI & BIOMETRIC BASED APPLICATIONPankaj Rane
Public Key Infrastructure is a widely deployed security technology for handling key distribution and validation in computer security. Despite PKI’s popularity as a security solution, Phishing and other Man-in-the-Middle related attacks are accomplished with ease throughout our computer networks. The major problems with PKI come down to trust, and largely, how much faith we must place in cryptographic keys alone to establish authenticity and identity.
In this paper, we look at a novel biometric solution that mitigates this problem at both the user and certificate authority levels. More importantly, we examine the trouble with the application of unprotected biometric features directly into PKI, and propose the integration of a secure, revocable biometric template protection technology that supports transactional key release. A detailed explanation of this new Biometric application is provided, including composition, enrollment, authentication, and revocation details. The Biometric provides a new paradigm for blending elements of physical and virtual security to address pesky network attacks that more conventional approaches have not been able to stop.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
2. Fraud and
illegal transactions
Fake
registered documents
The Property Sector boom in India and the resulting exponential growth in
registration volumes have also led to an increase in property related fraud and
fake/illegal transactions.
A 2006 report by the Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) indicates that
submission of fake documents
to procure housing loans is a
rampant practice in the property
sector. This is attributed to the
sharp rise in housing loan fraud.
In fact, the National Housing
Bank (NHB), a subsidiary body of
RBI has flagged up submission of
forged title documents for gaining
housing loans and Multiple
Financing as “HIGH” severity fraud
in their Fraud Circular to all HFCs
and Banks.
The menace of fake title deed
documents has also had
significant impact on the Banking
and Housing Finance sector.
Title deed documents (which
are a necessary requirement
for banks to sanction property
loans) are faked by individuals in
order to gain loans for illegally
acquired properties/unauthorized
properties. Moreover, this method
of faking registered sale deed
documents is a common practice
for gaining multiple loans from
different banks, as the original
sale deed is retained by the bank
that sanctioned the first loan.

3. Ownership issues Revenue loss to
government and
mortgaging banks
Document forgery/fraud and violations in the property sector have resulted in many
ownership issues embroiled in legal tangles.
Fraudulent practices in the property sector also cause significant losses to governments
in terms of lost registration fees and stamp duty.
Modus operandi adopted
by fraudsters to perpetrate
fraudulence
• Forged sale documents, which
appear genuine to buyers
• Forged Power of Attorney
(POA) and impersonation
during registration
• Double sale of property by
concealing facts
• Multiple mortgaging of a
single registered property
by producing fake
property documents
This fraud, and consequent
revenue loss, is facilitated by
inadequate authentication
mechanisms and the following
kinds of structural loopholes in
the complex property
registration system.
• No foolproof document/stamp
instrument authentication
mechanism during registration
• Current registration system
offers no assurance to the title
beyond the seller’s claims
PROBLEM PROBLEM
• Selling plots on an installment
basis to buyers, but registering
the same property to another
person who makes a
one-time payment.
• Lack of an efficient way for
buyers to verify property
credentials and ownership
history
• Inefficiencies in the property
transaction process
• It is a challenge for Banks to
verify mortgage clearances
through Encumbrance
Certificates as equitable
mortgages are not registered
• Government valuations are not
in line with fast rising
property prices.
There is a strong need to curb
fraudulent property transactions
and bring in security and
efficiency capabilities into
the property registration and
ownership due diligence process.

How it works Efficiency in
due diligence
The property sales deed document will be securitized at the time of registration and a
secure property registration card will be issued, providing convenience and ownership
identity to the property owner.
This solution also provides an efficient due diligence service for property buyers/banks
with the nonClonableID™ fingerprint serving as a secure key to access ownership details
and related documents.
SOLUTION SOLUTION
The solution can also be extended
to securitizing stamp instruments
used for payment of stamp duty
and can be offered as a modular
solution with an additional stamp
paper tracking and authentication
capability.
