Andhra Pradesh: SRM student makes it to Guinness Book of Records

Amaravati: Final year student of Computer Science at SRM-AP, Vyshnavi Garipelly entered in the Guinness Book of World Records for her pioneering research in "Using blockchain technologies on cybersecurity", which was presented in the International Conference on Recent Challenges in Engineering and Technology (ICRCET) on October 30.

Vyshnavi explored possibility of the blockchain technology into two significant areas of cyber security—implementing security in private message and transaction security developed by COINAPP.

Blockchain technologies, if well implemented in these messaging systems, may prevent such future cyberattacks.

COINAPP was an easy-to-use cryptocurrency application for resource-constrained businesses that were not currently equipped to handle the ledger information securely. COINAPP replaces third-party transaction vendors, and it keeps all transactional data between two peers encrypted. The boosted level of security helps companies to keep transparent records in a public sphere.
