Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar

After independence, development of the rural sector was considered the primary concern of the Government of India. In 1949, with the appointment of the Radhakrishnan University Education Commission, imparting of agricultural education through the setting up of rural universities became the focal point. Later, in 1954 an Indo-American team led by Dr. K.R. Damle, the Vice-President of ICAR, was constituted that arrived at the idea of establishing a Rural University on the land-grant pattern of USA. As a consequence a contract between the Government of India, the Technical Cooperation Mission and some land-grant universities of USA, was signed to promote agricultural education in the country. The US universities included the universities of Tennessee, the Ohio State University, the Kansas State University, The University of Illinois, the Pennsylvania State University and the University of Missouri. The task of assisting Uttar Pradesh in establishing an agricultural university was assigned to the University of Illinois which signed a contract in 1959 to establish an agricultural University in the State. Dean, H.W. Hannah, of the University of Illinois prepared a blueprint for a Rural University to be set up at the Tarai State Farm in the district Nainital, UP. In the initial stage the University of Illinois also offered the services of its scientists and teachers. Thus, in 1960, the first agricultural university of India, UP Agricultural University, came into being by an Act of legislation, UP Act XI-V of 1958. The Act was later amended under UP Universities Re-enactment and Amendment Act 1972 and the University was rechristened as Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology keeping in view the contributions of Pt. Govind Ballabh Pant, the then Chief Minister of UP. The University was dedicated to the Nation by the first Prime Minister of India Pt Jawaharlal Nehru on 17 November 1960. The G.B. Pant University is a symbol of successful partnership between India and the United States. The establishment of this university brought about a revolution in agricultural education, research and extension. It paved the way for setting up of 31 other agricultural universities in the country.

    An integrated approach for cyber attack prediction using Honeynet and Socialnet data, applying improved association rule mining technique

    Cyber attacks are becoming more lethal in last couple of years, as it has become a parallel industry for targeting Government, Defence, Nuclear and other High-profile organisations. People usually commit cyber-crimes for demanding ransom, for fame or due to personal grudges. Lombroso theory for crime psychology uses certain traits of a person to identify whether that person is a criminal. Similarly understanding the Crime psychology of attackers help in mitigating the cyber attacks. Finding associations of Crime with spatial and temporal parameters such as locations, time, event and activity is still an open research area. In the thesis an Integrated approach for cyber attack prediction is proposed on the basis of the data acquired from the Honeynet and Socialnet. For implementation, local Honeynets namely CDAC CTMS and Pant Honeynet have been used which are deployed in Department of Computer Engineering at GBPUAT, Pantnagar. The Socialnet data is acquired using News Tracker API. The Honeynet provides us attack data in the form of activity logs while the Socialnet provides us events which correlate with the cyber attacks. The attack data and events obtained from Honeynet and Socialnet respectively are used to form an Augmented Transaction Database. Then Improved Association Rule Mining Technique is applied for producing Association Rules. These Association Rules help in predicting the occurrence of cyber-attack which would assist in providing better advisory and deployment of security measures.
