A web platform that inspects IPsec VPN network traffic using AI to identify protocols, assess security configurations, and generate automated risk assessment reports.

Signing in saves it for your whole team — everyone on your invite link sees the same two entries. Anything you shortlisted while signed out comes with you.
Decomposed from what the description asks for. Nothing added.
VPN Testbed Environment
Create a laboratory setup that generates IPsec VPN connections using various tunnel modes, ciphers, and traffic types.
Traffic Capture Utility
Capture network traces including IKE negotiations and encrypted packets for analysis.
AI Protocol Engine
Build an AI model to identify IPsec protocols, encryption algorithms, operating modes, and traffic types.
Security Assessment Module
Automatically evaluate cryptographic strength, cipher suites, key lifetimes, and configuration compliance.
Interactive Dashboard and Reports
Generate executive and technical reports, threat matrices, security scores, and an interactive dashboard.
Both columns are read off the brief's own wording. Nothing here is inferred from the ministry's name.
The evaluators will check if your platform can handle multiple configurations like Tunnel or Transport mode, different encryption algorithms such as AES-128 and AES-256, and whether it successfully generates automated security reports and risk scores.
A jury can still ask about these. Decide them deliberately rather than by accident.
Generated from the brief's own wording and the competition's published rules — never from a guess about what this ministry prefers.
Exact format required for the security assessment reports?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
Specific target accuracy for the AI classification engine?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
Required technology stack or programming language?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
Has any part of this been shown at a previous event, hackathon or college project?
The guidelines are explicit: your solution must not have appeared in any previous event or programme, of any sort. A recycled project is what a team under time pressure reaches for.
Each one is quoted from a gap in the brief, not a guess about your team.
No dataset provided
The description depends on real data, and the organisers have not attached a dataset link.
No measurable target
The description asks for an AI confidence score and security score but never states a required accuracy percentage or performance benchmark for the AI model.
What the organisers attached, and what the brief assumes you can get.
Same organisation, same year. Reading two of theirs tells you more about what they care about than reading one.
Pick what you are about to do and copy the prompt. It carries the organisers' own wording, the constraints they never spell out, and an instruction not to invent requirements they never set.
Who has this problem, what already exists, and what you would have to find out.
The brief asks for vpn testbed environment. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26160 itself — Create a laboratory setup that generates IPsec VPN connections using various tunnel modes, ciphers, and traffic types. The brief asks for it by name.
The brief asks for traffic capture utility. How would you build that?

Where does your data come from — a published source, one you collect, or one you generate?
No dataset is attached to this problem statement, so sourcing it is part of the work and nobody told you that.
Why not use what already exists? Name the closest thing to this that is already running.
A team that has not named the alternative themselves is answering this for the first time in the room.
Which single thing will you demonstrate end to end, start to finish, with nothing skipped?
Ours, not a rule: a narrow thing that fully works survives questioning better than a broad thing that half works. If nobody on the team can name it, that is the finding.
Show me this working: the evaluators will check if your platform can handle multiple configurations like Tunnel or Transport mode, different encryption algorithms such as AES-128 and AES-256, and whether it successfully generates automated security reports and risk scores.
This is the evaluator read for your problem statement, decoded from the brief's own wording.
