· Abstract: The World Wide Web has become a major source of information for users. However, the correctness of web-based information is not always reliable, and different websites may present conflicting data on the same subject, such as product specifications. To address this issue, Truth Finder is a system designed to identify accurate facts from conflicting information and determine trustworthy websites more effectively than traditional search engines.

· Abstract: The increasing use of Android devices is due to their user-friendly interface, compact size, and wide range of applications. These devices are often used to store personal and confidential data, making them vulnerable to data loss in case of theft or loss. To address this issue, the project “3ICRGPT” has been developed to secure data stored on smartphones. It utilises a lightweight encryption scheme called Hummingbird-2, which incorporates a biometric information-based key derivation approach. The application enables encryption of data stored on SD cards as well as selective files such as contacts, thereby ensuring the security and privacy of sensitive information on mobile devices.

Guided Grade 12 CBSE students in developing Python-based projects integrated with SQL database connectivity, focusing on real-life problem-solving applications. I supported students throughout the project development process, including design, coding, debugging, and implementation of database operations using MySQL. The projects were aimed at enhancing practical programming skills, logical thinking, and application of theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios.
