PROJECT ANNEXURE

Title

Implementation of Full Phase Required Time of Arrival (FP RTA)

Project Location

Honeywell Technology Solutions, Bangalore.

Client

Boeing 787-9.

Language, OS and Platform

C++, ADA, VxWorks, Power PC.

Synopsis

The term Full Phase RTA refers to the function that will be capable of actively monitoring, modifying and controlling to the RTA speed profile for the climb, cruise and descent flight phases, as needed, in order to meet the RTA at a given waypoint. This waypoint could be a climb, cruise or descent waypoint. By contrast, current RTA functions are not capable of modifying the speed profile for the climb and descent flight phases. In those systems, the only speeds that are modified are those for the cruise flight phase.

Responsibilities

Develop use cases and derive/develop high level requirements for embedded software by performing white paper analysis.

Develop low level requirements from the high level requirements.

Plan, design & develop prototype software which behaves as per given requirements.

Develop and execute the test procedures to make sure the system is robust enough to tackle adverse scenarios and inputs.

Research, evaluate and troubleshoot/debug the issues observed during testing, and arrive at a solution for the same.

Participate in Critical Design Review (CDR) with all stakeholders of the functionality.

Title

Maintenance of HTTP stack

Project Location

Motorola India Electronics Pvt. Ltd.

Language and Platform

C, Linux.

Synopsis

The HTTP protocol is a request/response protocol. A client sends a request to the server in the form of a request method, URI, and protocol version, followed by a MIME-like message containing request modifiers, client information, and possible body content over a connection with a server. The server responds with a status line, including the message's protocol version and a success or error code, followed by a MIME-like message containing server information, entity meta information, and possible entity-body content. Most HTTP communication is initiated by a user agent and consists of a request to be applied to a resource on some origin server. In the simplest case, this may be accomplished via a single connection (v) between the user agent (UA) and the origin server (O). HTTP communication usually takes place over TCP/IP connections. The default port is TCP 80, but other ports can be used. In HTTP/1.0, most implementations used a new connection for each request/response exchange. In HTTP/1.1, a connection may be used for one or more request/response exchanges, although connections may be closed for a variety of reasons.

Responsibilities

Understanding the HTTP stack (RFC 2616).

Bug fixes to the CRs (Change Requests).

Optimizing the HTTP stack by adding small features to the existing one.

Title

Design and Implementation of TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0 protocols

Project Location

Innvo Systems Software Labs Pvt. Ltd.

Crypto Library Support

OpenSSL.

Language and Platform

C, Linux.

Synopsis

This project implements a part of HTTP Stack of the Wireless Application Protocol 2.0 stack. The primary goal of the TLS Protocol is to provide privacy and data integrity between two communicating applications. The protocol is composed of two layers-the TLS Record Protocol and the TLS Handshake Protocol.

Responsibilities

Understanding the TLS and SSL protocols (RFC 2246 and RFC 6101).

Understanding OpenSSL crypto library’s encryption and decryption utility functions.

Design of TLS and SSL call flow with HTTP stack.

Implementing TLS and SSL protocols according to the design.

Integration of TLS and SSL layers with HTTP stack.

Title

Verification (Module and System Testing) of HTTP Stack

Project Location

Innvo Systems Software Labs Pvt. Ltd.

Language and Platform

C, Linux.

Synopsis

The HTTP Stack implements the Wireless Profiled HTTP (W-HTTP). The implementation follows the WAP 2.0 specification [<http-//www.wapforum.org The core of the wireless profiled HTTP specification is the HTTP 1.1 specification [RFC 2616]. Four Layers are used in the HTTP Stack namely, HTTP Interface Layer, HTTP Layer, TLS Layer and TCP Layer. The HTTP Interface layer acts as an interface between the network abstract layer and the rest of the HTTP Stack. API calls requiring HTTP processing are queued into the HTTP Queue. The HTTP layer processes requests in the HTTP_Queue which can be issued by the above or below layers. The TLS layer provides Secure Connection service as required in the WAP architecture and complies with TLS 1.0 [RFC 2246] specification. It also acts as a forwarding agent for requests in the TLS_Queue in either direction between HTTP and TCP abstract layers, when TLS action (Secure Connection) is not required. The TCP layer abstracts the platform specific TCP/IP API implementation from the HTTP Stack to perform the socket operations.

Responsibilities

Understanding HTTP stack.

Design of test plans for testing HTTP stack.

Creation of test strategies for testing HTTP stack.

Unit and System Integration testing of HTTP stack.
