Advanced Cybersecurity Research
About us
ACSR is a creative and active group of engineering and applied science undergraduates (B.Tech (CSE)/B. Sc
(CS) hon.), post graduates (M. Tech (CSE)/M.Sc.(CS)) and Ph. D. scholars of computer science department,
founded in Jan 2022 by Dr. Preeti Mishra, Assistant Professor, Computer Science Department, Doon
University, Dehradun. The main motive of this group is to provide a learning environment to promote the
innovative and collaborative research in the field of cyber security. ACSR provides a common research
platform to students and faculties where they together learn, improve and apply their technical skills in
designing and developing innovative research projects. It also comprises of alumni working in reputed
firms and continuing their research. ACSR is established to foster the research in Computer Science and
carry out research in the emerging areas of cyber security. We have secured some competitive sponsored
research projects (DST-SERB Power, UCOST, DSCI, SERB Mobility) to strengthen the research facilities and
published articles in reputed publications like IEEE SCI Journal, Elsevier SCI Journals and various
reputed Int. Conferences held at Indian and Abroad Universities. Our specialization and main focus on
Virtualization Security, Explainable AI, Deep Learning (DL), Windows PE perturbation and analysis, Android
Application, Android Security, Hypervisor Security, Adversarial Machine Learning, Sustainable NIDS etc.
Over the last few years, our team have gained expertize on various programming languages like C, C++,
Python; hypervisor like Xen, KVM, introspection tools like LibVMI, DRAKVUF etc, machine learning,
sensor-based applications, explainable AI, windows PE attacking strategies and countermeasures, hacking
tools, A¬¬WS Cloud and research paper writing tools such as Latex, Endnote and Medley. We promote the
collaboration of external Indian & Foreign organizations to improve the quality of research and build a
relationship with collaborating institutes and industries. Currently, we are collaborating in research at
international level such as Advanced Cyber Security Research Center (ACSRC), The University of Newcastle,
Callaghan, Australia, University of Padua Italy, Deakin University, Australia, Asia University Taiwan etc.
Research Platform and membership
ACSR provides a common research platform to students where they together learn, improve, and apply their
technical skills in designing and developing innovative research projects. Currently, it comprises members
pursuing UG/PG/PhD from Doon University Dehradun, working under the guidance of Dr. Preeti Mishra. It also
comprises alumni working in reputed firms and continuing their research. ACSR has been informally started in
2021 with a few undergraduate students, and it has expanded over time to foster the research environment in
India and help people in solving real-world cyber problems.
Engagements and Achievements
We have organized students’ skill development workshops such as Data Analytics workshops, sponsored by
Honeywell, and Power BI workshop, sponsored by Marico, and various cyber security-related invited talks and
guest lectures. We participated in the 2022 Fourteenth International Conference on Contemporary Computing,
Noida Delhi, and the 2023 International Conference on Advances in Intelligent Computing and Applications
(AICAPS), Kochi Kerala, and the 2023 Fourteenth International Conference on Contemporary Computing, Noida,
Delhi, which are related to a multitude of fields.
Research and Specialization
We have done core research with publishing research articles in reputed publications like IEEE SCI Journal,
Elsevier SCI Journals, and various reputed Int. Conferences held at Indian and Abroad Universities. Our
specialization and main focus are on Adversarial machine learning, Online antivirus service development,
Cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), Machine learning (ML), cyber security, android application,
android security, Hypervisor security, Docker security, etc. Over the last few years, our team has gained
expertise in various programming languages like C, C++, Python, hypervisors like Xen, KVM, introspection
tools like LibVMI, DRAKVUF, machine learning frameworks Jupyter, sensor-based applications, hacking tools,
Hadoop, HIVE, OpenStack, AWS Cloud, and research paper writing tools such as Latex, Endnote, and Medley.
Achievements and Ongoing Projects
The consistent teamwork coupled with perseverance, proper guidance, and stimulating challenges have gained
us numerous significant achievements. We have developed various projects such as “HyperGuard: on designing
out-VM malware analysis approach to detect intrusions from hypervisor in cloud environment,” “CROPCARE: An
Intelligent Real-Time Sustainable IoT System for Crop Disease Detection Using Mobile Vision,”
“vServiceInspector: Introspection-assisted evolutionary bag-of-ngram approach to detect malware in cloud
servers,” “A holistic survey on the use of emerging technologies to provision secure healthcare solutions,”
“VNSecure: An explainable virtual network attack detection framework at VMM-Layer in virtualization
environment,” “DeepHyperv: A deep neural network-based virtual memory analysis for malware detection at the
hypervisor layer,” and “Advanced malware and their impact on virtualization: A case study on hybrid feature
extraction using deep memory introspection,” etc. Currently, we are working on adversarial machine learning
in malware detection and the concept drift in network intrusion detection.
Collaboration and Future Projects
We promote the collaboration of external Indian and foreign organizations to improve the quality of
research and build a relationship with collaborating institutes and industries. Currently, we are
collaborating in research with Advanced Cyber Security Research Center (ACSRC), The University of Newcastle,
Callaghan, Australia, and the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, University of Padua, Italy. An MoU
has recently been initiated between the International Center for AI and Cyber Security Research and
Innovations, Asia University Taiwan, and Doon University, Dehradun.
Join Our Team
We are looking forward to adding active and consistent students to our team. Those who would like to join
the team may contact the team mentor.
