meity cyber security r&d proposal: MeitY cybersecurity group seeks ideas in thrust areas
The government has sought proposals for research and development in the cybersecurity space in “thrust areas” like digital forensics, IoT security, mobile security, data security as well as network and system security.

The proposals were called by the Cyber Security Research and Development (CSRD) Group of the ministry of electronics & information technology (MeitY) on Wednesday.
“The proposals may be submitted by an individual institution or in a consortium model, with defined milestones/ timelines and roles of individual institutions,” MeitY said in a statement. “An expert group (working group on CSRD) would consider the proposals for feasibility and carry out technical and financial evaluation and accordingly recommend for financial support by MeitY. Appraised projects are processed further based on the recommendations of the working group and the priority areas of the ministry.”
The R&D project proposals for grants-in-aid support may be submitted by researchers, scientists, engineers, technologists and faculty members working in universities, academic institutions, registered scientific societies, R&D institutions, laboratories or autonomous R&D organizations of the government with due approval of competent authority.
It elaborated that the process of selection would include assessing the new technology development leading to prototypes/ products aligned with the defined thrust areas.
Further, delivery for pilot scale demonstration, field trial/deployment and commercialisation within 24 months would also be evaluated, while keeping a check that the proposal should target development of technology readiness level (TRL) of 4 or higher.

As per the notification, in digital forensics, the recovery of deleted and overwritten data, intelligent imaging of storage media, attribution and fingerprinting of devices and users and privacy preserving digital forensic investigations were among the focus areas.Similarly, in IoT (Internet of Things) security, it said blockchain-assisted IoT security and the security of sensors/IoT devices in electric vehicles were important areas, in addition to things like hardware-enabled data security technologies or privacy and accidental leakage prevention were core to data security.
It also laid out that device fingerprinting, side channels impacting mobile security and blockchain-enabled mobile security were among the thrust areas in mobile security, while next generation hashing, encryption and applications in network security, zero trust, privacy and security in cloud and networks were critical to network and system security.
