Welcome to AIORI
Advanced Internet Operations Research in India
AIORI began as a grant-in-aid program under the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), with Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) serving as the executing agency, and India Internet Foundation (IIFON) and Internet Society Kolkata Chapter as the implementing agencies.
Now in its second phase, the program is supported by the National Internet Exchange of India (NiXi).
The project has delivered the AIORI measurement and development platform for Internet Operations Research, consisting of two key components. The first component, AIORI-IMN, is an Internet Measurement Network. The second component, the Anycast Test Bed, aids in researching and building distributed edge services, with a current focus on DNS deployment models. These components work together to achieve our objectives.

Asymmetric Cryptography vs. Symmetric Cryptography in the Quantum Era
Quantum computing promises to revolutionize many fields, but it also poses significant challenges to current cryptographic systems. One of the key differences in how quantum computing impacts these systems lies in the distinction between asymmetric and symmetric cryptography. While asymmetric cryptography is particularly vulnerable to quantum attacks, symmetric cryptography can
Mitigating DDoS attacks using BGP configurations
In today’s interconnected world, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are a growing threat to the stability and availability of online services. These attacks aim to overwhelm network resources, rendering services inaccessible to legitimate users. One of the most effective strategies to mitigate such attacks involves leveraging Border Gateway Protocol
The Impact of Quantum Cryptography on DNSSEC and the Way Forward with Post-Quantum Cryptography
The advent of quantum computing poses significant challenges to traditional cryptographic systems, including DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC). DNSSEC is a suite of extensions to DNS that adds security by enabling DNS responses to be authenticated. However, the cryptographic algorithms that underpin DNSSEC are vulnerable to the computational power of quantum
