& ML. tables. For example, Country, City and
State table containing the possible
universe of names. It should take into
account spelling errors in the names and
multiple ways of spelling and mentioning
the same entity in the query and map it to
canonical name. For example: Given an
input: Which of the following saw highest
average temperature in January,
Maharashtra, Ahmedabad or entire New-
Zealand? Here, first the system should use
NLP to filter out words that are not names
of places, then it must do a fuzzy match to
find candidate canonical names in tables
and report the output. Output: Token:
Maharashtra, Canonical name:
Maharashtra, table: State Token:
Amdabad, Canonical name: Ahmedabad,
table: City Token: New-Zealand, Canonical
name: newzealand, table: Country Please
note that query need not be a question. It
can also be an imperative sentence for
example. “Show me a graph of rainfall for
Chennai for the month of October”

SIH1523 Quantum Secure Space Agriculture & Quantum Email communication is a fundamental
Email Client Technology Rural Communication part of modern business and personal
Application Development interactions. However, conventional
encryption mechanisms are susceptible to
various threats, including eavesdropping,
man-in-the-middle attacks, and data
breaches in post quantum era. Quantum
Key Distribution (QKD) offers an
unprecedented level of security by
distributing secure keys to two users over
quantum channel and these keys can be
used for encryption to achieve
unconditional/enhanced security.The
objective is to develop email client
application like Microsoft Outlook (can be
named as QuMail) which integrates
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) service
with existing email protocols to enhance
the security of email communication while
maintaining compatibility with widely used
email servers (Gmail, yahoo mail etc).This
application interfaces with KM (Key
Manager) for getting the quantum keys
using APIs (illustrated below), with Email
servers through standard protocols to
utilize email service facility and with users
through GUI for capturing various user
inputs.Use case Scenario:Users (having
quantum keys access through the KM)
need to exchange email with attachment
over untrusted network (i.e. internet) and
existing email service providers (Gmail,
Yahoo mail etc). It is assumed that local
key managers at both ends have already
generated symmetrical quantum keys at
their ends. The participants may start with
a key bank of 100 keys, each of size 1Kb at
KMs.Features:•Implemented solutions

upgradation•KM service and email service

configuration:▪Level 1- No Quantum
security▪Level 2- Quantum-aided AES: use
Quantum keys as seed for AESLevel 3-
Quantum Secure : use One Time Pad▪Any
other encryption may be given as
optionChallenges:Develop a robust
mechanism to seamlessly integrate QKD
technology into existing email
infrastructure. This includes using secure
key which is distributed using QKD, in
existing email communication for
encryption while maintaining
interoperability.An approach to this
problem can be Encryption at application
layer can be introduced in email client
which will use QKD key.Preferred OS:
WindowsNote: The participants can make
further assumptions regarding the
problem. The features listed here are
baseline and do not limit the scope of
application development.Illustration of
REST based API for key request and
delivery1.Email client requests local KM
(Key Manager) for quantum keys. Each
local KM has a QKD link with other
KM.2.Each email client will have a unique
ID.3.KM will authenticate each request and
identify the unique ID of the user trying to
access the application.4.KM will provide
Web API server functionality to deliver
keys to email client application via HTTPS
protocols.5.Email client will make HTTPS
requests with destination user unique ID
to KM to get keys.Example: Following
methods may be used by API:1.Get
Key2.Get Key with Key_ID
SIH1524 Domain Name Space Agriculture & Cyber Security DNS Filtering service helps blocks
Server (DNS) Technology Rural malicious domains and prevent malware
Filtering Service Development from communicating with Command-and-
using Threat control servers. It also aids in blocking
Intelligence feeds phishing attacks, playing a crucial role in
and AI/ML enhancing security and ensuring
Techniques appropriate content access. The solution
should provide a secure DNS resolver that
blocks resolution of malicious domain
names. It should be capable of detecting
and filtering malicious domains using
blacklists, threat intelligence feeds with
support for STIX/TAXII protocol, and
leveraging AL/ML for identifying malicious
domains generated using domain
generation algorithms or any other
techniques employed by botnets. The
solution should also be able to detect
attempts at DNS tunnelling employed by
malwares. It should allow the resolution of
non-malicious domain names while
blocking the resolution of malicious
domains. Furthermore, the solution should
support DNS over UDP, DNS over DTLS and
DNS over HTTPS for DNS resolution. It
should be scalable to handle a large
volume of DNS queries and maintain an
average DNS lookup time within 100
milliseconds. Additionally, the solution
should support DNS caching for faster
resolution. The solution should be capable
of conducting both active analysis of DNS
queries to filter malicious domains and
passive analysis of DNS data provided in
PCAP format or Zeek TSV format for the
detection of malicious domains. It should
also provide a web interface for
monitoring statistics on malicious domains
identified in DNS queries, as well as source
IP addresses that generated those queries.
