Preface

We hereby are delighted to announce that Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business

Studies, New Delhi, in association with the National Institute of Technology Patna
and the University of Valladolid, Spain, has hosted the eagerly awaited and much-
coveted International Conference on Innovative Computing and Communication
(ICICC-2021) in Hybrid Mode. The fourth version of the conference was able to
attract a diverse range of engineering practitioners, academicians, scholars, and
industry delegates, with the reception of abstracts including more than 3,600 authors
from different parts of the world. The committee of professionals dedicated to the
conference is striving to achieve a high-quality technical program with tracks on Inno-
vative Computing, Innovative Communication Network and Security, and Internet of
Things. All the tracks chosen in the conference are interrelated and are very famous
among present-day research community. Therefore, a lot of research is happening in
the above-mentioned tracks and their related sub-areas. As the name of the conference
starts with the word “innovation,” it has targeted out of box ideas, methodologies,
applications, expositions, surveys, and presentations helping to upgrade the current
status of research. More than 900 full-length papers have been received, among which
the contributions are focused on theoretical, computer simulation-based research,
and laboratory-scale experiments. Among these manuscripts, 210 papers have been
included in the Springer proceedings after a thorough two-stage review and editing
process. All the manuscripts submitted to the ICICC-2021 were peer-reviewed by at
least two independent reviewers, who were provided with a detailed review proforma.
The comments from the reviewers were communicated to the authors, who incorpo-
rated the suggestions in their revised manuscripts. The recommendations from two
reviewers were taken into consideration while selecting a manuscript for inclusion in
the proceedings. The exhaustiveness of the review process is evident, given the large
number of articles received addressing a wide range of research areas. The stringent
review process ensured that each published manuscript met the rigorous academic and
scientific standards. It is an exalting experience to finally see these elite contributions
materialize into three book volumes as ICICC-2021 proceedings by Springer enti-
tled “International Conference on Innovative Computing and Communications.” The
articles are organized into three volumes in some broad categories covering subject
matters on machine learning, data mining, big data, networks, soft computing, and

cloud computing, although given the diverse areas of research reported might not
have been always possible.
ICICC-2021 invited seven keynote speakers, who are eminent researchers in the
field of computer science and engineering, from different parts of the world. In addi-
tion to the plenary sessions on each day of the conference, ten concurrent technical
sessions are held every day to assure the oral presentation of around 210 accepted
papers. Keynote speakers and session chair(s) for each of the concurrent sessions
have been leading researchers from the thematic area of the session. A technical
exhibition is held during the 2 days of the conference, which has put on display the
latest technologies, expositions, ideas, and presentations. The research part of the
conference was organized in a total of 28 special sessions and 3 international work-
shops. These special sessions and international workshops provided the opportunity
for researchers conducting research in specific areas to present their results in a more
focused environment.
An international conference of such magnitude and release of the ICICC-2021
proceedings by Springer has been the remarkable outcome of the untiring efforts
of the entire organizing team. The success of an event undoubtedly involves the
painstaking efforts of several contributors at different stages, dictated by their devo-
tion and sincerity. Fortunately, since the beginning of its journey, ICICC-2021 has
received support and contributions from every corner. We thank them all who have
wished the best for ICICC-2021 and contributed by any means toward its success. The
edited proceedings volumes by Springer would not have been possible without the
perseverance of all the steering, advisory, and technical program committee members.
All the contributing authors owe thanks to the organizers of ICICC-2021 for their
interest and exceptional articles. We would also like to thank the authors of the papers
for adhering to the time schedule and for incorporating the review comments. We wish
to extend my heartfelt acknowledgment to the authors, peer-reviewers, committee
members, and production staff whose diligent work put shape to the ICICC-2021
proceedings. We especially want to thank our dedicated team of peer-reviewers who
volunteered for the arduous and tedious step of quality checking and critique on
the submitted manuscripts. We wish to thank my faculty colleagues Mr. Moolchand
Sharma and Ms. Prerna Sharma for extending their enormous assistance during the
conference. The time spent by them and the midnight oil burnt is greatly appreciated,
for which we will ever remain indebted. The management, faculties, administrative,
and support staff of the college have always been extending their services whenever
needed, for which we remain thankful to them.
Lastly, we would like to thank Springer for accepting our proposal for publishing
the ICICC-2021 conference proceedings. Help received from Mr. Aninda Bose, the
acquisition senior editor, in the process has been very useful.

Building Virtual High-Performance
Computing Clusters with Docker:
An Application Study at the University
of Economics Ho Chi Minh City

Abstract The need for high-performance computing in science and technology

is becoming a challenging issue in recent years. Building a high-performance
computing system by utilizing the existing hardware and software resources is a
low-cost solution. Virtualization technology is proposed to solve this problem. It
has brought convenience and efficiency as it can run on various operating systems.
It can be used for implementing many computational algorithms simultaneously
on the same hardware system including parallel processing and/or cluster processing
systems. It can be expanded for computation and storage if the resources are still avail-
able. Virtualization also can combine the existing hardware and software resources
to solve the problem of mobilizing multiple resources. Docker virtualization tech-
nology is considered a powerful virtualization technology, offering a new virtualiza-
tion solution, instead of creating independent virtual machines with different virtual
hardware and operating systems. Because this technology allows applications can
be repackaged into individual data units and run together on the operating system
kernel, sharing the resources of the mobilizing hardware platforms is the strength of
Docker. The paper will focus on analyzing the superiority of using hardware virtu-
alization technology, thereby proposing to build a high-performance virtualization
system by using Docker technology with utilizing the available hardware platform
at the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH).

1 Introduction

Today, the use of high-performance computers in the fields of sciences and

engineering has changed scientific research activities. Many scientific disciplines
need powerful computational abilities such as computational biology, computa-
tional chemistry, computational physics, computational materials, computational
mechanics, computational geophysics, computational statistics, and banking and
financial technology. A common feature is information processing and analysis,
and predicting results based on simulating and assessing mathematical models with
the help of a high-performance computing system. The system is considered to be
a critical solution to meet the increasing demand for computing. Not only scientific
research activities but also practical activities, such as socioeconomics, also requires
high computing performance. They have been developing on a large scale and require
more complex technology. Therefore, the implementation of the related models on
conventional computers is impossible due to the large computational volume and
time constraints.
High-Performance Computing (HPC) system was born to meet the above situa-
tion, and it allows the implementation of big data solutions based on a system inte-
grating with many page calculation nodes. Central Processing Units (CPU) will be
combined with a Graphical Processing Unit (GPU). On another aspect, maximizing
resource utilization on HPC systems remains problematic in recent years. Finding
the optimal solution to this problem to maximize the computing power of the HPC
system is attracting the attention of scientists from research institutes and univer-
sities. However, to equip an HPC system for a university or a public research unit
requires a large investment of money to purchase and maintain the system and human
resources. Technicians need to have operation and management qualifications when
put into use. On the other hand, on the system, there are still exist separate servers
with independent applications. Therefore, to build a high-performance computing
system with a virtualization technology based on the availability of distributed hard-
ware resources, which we call vHPC (virtual HPC), is the motivation of the study.
In this paper, we develop the above system based on Docker technology.
Our contributions in this paper focus on the following: (1) proposing an efficient
virtual HPC architecture to utilizing the existing hardware and software resource of
UEH; (2) combining the existing physical servers to build virtual servers that suit
the usage of Docker technology; (3) configuring the system to optimize resource
allocation and balancing the performance with other tasks that are working on the
existing physical servers.
The system uses many advanced virtualization technologies such as Hyper-V,
VMware ESX Server, and Docker Cluster to exploit available physical resources to
create and operate multiple machines [1]. Virtual machines share resources, or they
can allow to consolidate and run multiple workloads as virtual machines on a single
server. This technology allows a virtual machine can be considered to be a physical
computer and can run an operating system and applications fully. It enables the
virtualization of hardware from the server to servers, virtualization of storage on the

network (SAN—Storage Area Network) [2], or virtualization of shared applications

(Applications).

2 Literature Review

Some computing system virtualization technologies have been applied in many

fields of life. Gautam Bhanage [3] studied the experimental evaluation based
on OpenVZ virtualization technology (Open Virtuozzo) from the perspective of
receiving. Considering that OpenVZ [4] is a virtualization technology system based
on the Linux kernel. OpenVZ allows a single physical server to run multiple separate
operating system instances, known as containers, Virtual Private Servers (VPSS), or
Virtual Environments (VES). OpenVZ is not completely virtualization, it only shares
a modified Linux kernel and can, therefore, only run Linux operating systems. Thus,
all VPS virtual servers can only run Linux with the same technology and Kernel
version.
Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization technology [5] consists of three main compo-
nents: hypervisor, virtualization compartment, and new virtualization I/O (I/O)
model. The hypervisor is a very small layer of software presented on a processor
under Intel-V or AMD-V technology. It is responsible for creating the partitions, in
that the virtual entity will run. A partition is a logically isolated unit and can contain
an operating system on which it is intended. Always have at least 1 root partition
containing Windows Server 2008 and virtualization compartment, with direct access
to hardware devices. The next root partition can generate child partitions, usually
called virtual machines, to run the guest operating systems. A partition can also
generate its own child partitions. Virtual machines do not have access to the phys-
ical processor, but only “see” the processor provided by the hypervisor. The virtual
machine can only use the virtual device, all requests to the virtual device will be
passed through the VMBus to the device in the parent partition. Feedback is also
transmitted via VMBus. If the device on the parent partition is also the virtual device,
it is forwarded until it meets the real device on the root partition [6]. In the work
of Irfan Habib, the author presented an overview of virtualization technology KVM
(Kernel Virtualization Machine) [7] this is a new virtualization technology that allows
real virtualization on the hardware platform. That means the OS itself emulates the
hardware for other OSs to run on. It works similarly to a transcendental manager for
a fair share of resources such as disk, network IO, and CPU. The original server has
Linux installed, but KVM supports creating virtual servers that can run both Linux
and Windows. It also supports both × 86 and × 86–64 systems.
In the study of David Chisnall, the author presented a system with XEN virtual-
ization technology [8] that allows running multiple VPS virtual servers on a physical
server at the same time. XEN virtualization technology allows each virtual server to
run its own kernel, so VPS can install both Linux or Windows Operating systems.
Each VPS has its own File System and acts as an independent physical server.
4 Q. H. Nguyen et al.

Next is the optimized and most used virtualization technology in recent times,
VMWare virtualization technology [9] developed by the company VMWare, which
supports virtualization from the hardware level. User-friendly interface, simple to
install and use, many advanced features, support for multiple operating systems,
diverse versions. This technology is often applied to large units like banks and is
rarely used for commercial VPS sold in the market. Its structure is a virtualization
application program, running on Linux or Windows operating systems.
In the study of HE Yu et al. [10], the authors proposed a solution to automatically
build bridges connecting computing nodes into clusters for parallel processing (MPI–
–Message Passing Interface) using Docker Cluster [11]. This work has also been
carried out by De Bayser et al. [12] to integrate computation in parallel MPI with
HPC systems using Docker. It is important to evaluate efficiency when it comes
to virtualizing the computational system as a basis for building HPC. Muhammad
Abdullah et al. at Punjab University, Pakistan conducted a study [13] to evaluate the
effectiveness when using VMs (Virtual Machines) and Docker on the OpenNebula
cloud service platform. The results showed that when deploying virtualization with
Docker, the performance reached 70.23% compared to 46.48% of VMs, thereby
proving effective when virtualizing using Docker.
In Vietnam, several studies in the field of HPC have been carried out [14].
Researchers of Center for Computing Engineering, University of Technology—
Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City, aims at building solutions and
techniques used in the field of high performance and looking to build a tool that
can evaluate the performance of a powerful computer system, and achieved perfor-
mance in the range of 30–90%. The results were published in “500 of the world’s most
powerful computers” [15]. In project [16], Nguyen Thanh Thuy et al. at the High-
Performance Computing Center, Hanoi University of Technology, by the protocol of
scientific and technological cooperation with the Indian government in the period of
2004–2005, he has proposed to build an HPC system, namely BKluster. BKluster is
a system of parallel clustered computing based on Beowulf architecture and message
communication programming model together with the BKlusware software suite, a
set of software that supports up to many users at many different levels.

3 Virtual High-Performance Computing Based on Virtual

Clusters and Docker

In this paper, we develop a vHPC system by combining Cluster Computing using

available computing resources of the existing infrastructure at UEH (Table 1) with
Docker technology (Fig. 1).
In Fig. 1, the vHPC architecture included three processing layers:
• The Physical layers: They consist of 8 physical servers as shown in Table 1.
• The Virtualization layers: They refer to Taknet’s Analytical Evaluation Report
[17] on building an HPC system, the minimum configuration consists of 1 control

Fig. 1 The proposed vHPC architecture with the Docker

computer (defined as Head Node) and at least 3 to 4 handling computers (defined

as Node). These nodes can be completely supplemented if necessary to improve
the overall computing performance of the HPC system. Therefore, we virtualize 5
virtual servers as in Fig. 1b, in which 1 machine plays the role of the manager (Head
Node) and the other 04 machines—the processing cluster computer (Node). All
computers are installed with the CenOS operating system version 7.8 as in Fig. 2.
For the hardware configuration of cluster computers, we set up 05 computers with
the same configuration as in Fig. 3.
• The vHPC layers: The system includes two components: (i) the CenOS oper-
ating system v7.8 runs in the background; (ii) A human-interactive interface with
Docker to compute resources (operation image and folder with data containers)
as in Fig. 4.

For the vHPC performance calculation system [18], Docker images with Storage
Containers for each specific problem will be built, and the system provides informa-
tion about each Docker images. The part that interacted with the outside through the
IP address is authenticated through the HTTPS protocol if the system runs internally.
When doing the work outside, tasks will be connected to the system via VPN. All
the procedures are illustrated in Fig. 5.

4 Conclusions

Virtualization technology has been developed a long time ago, achieved many
achievements, and commonly used for server systems. In addition to flexibility
in deployment, virtual machines are also known for the characteristics such as
ease of management, high security, and efficiency in isolation between the scope
of use and control. Currently, in the field of high-performance computing, virtual
machine deployment infrastructure plays an important role in services such as cloud
computing, and cloud storage. In this research, we have discussed and tested several
virtualization technologies for servers that are integrated with a large computational
memory such as CPU and GPU toward an HPC system with superior features, scala-
bility, and higher reliability. On the other hand, it helps researchers to have the tools
to implement algorithms to solve hard problems such as computer vision [19, 20],
machine learning [21], and big data processing [22] in all different environments to
meet technical factors such as high availability, superior fault tolerance feature, and
especially, utilizing the existing resources.

Implementing Multilevel Graphical
Password Authentication Scheme
in Combination with One Time Password

T. Srinivasa Ravi Kiran, A. Srisaila, and A. Lakshmanarao

Abstract At present, everyone makes instantaneous digital transaction by using

applications like PhonePe, Google pay etc. Password is necessary to prove the user
authentication. At the same time, user authentication is also verified by validating
one time password. A shoulder surfer may have the possibility to crack the password
during entry time. In this paper, we present a novel, clear, recall-based graphical
password scheme where the user is required to figure out the triangle for some exact
permutations of the password on the active display. The token holder is likely to pick
the correct password permutations in the expected order cyclically per every login
endeavor. For example, the user must select the first permutation of the password and
that permutation must form a triangle on the visual display. After the correct triangle
is identified in the visual display, a one time password is sent to the user. The user is
required to enter the one time password in the text box given in the visual display.
If the one time password is correct then the login attempt is successful; otherwise,
the login attempt is failed. Likewise, the user is instructed to identify triangles with
other permutations of the password for the remaining login attempts.

1 Introduction

Even though the technique of using textual passwords is insecure, the majority of
the digital systems are still using textual passwords to implement their security. To
overcome the vulnerabilities of using textual-based passwords, graphical passwords
provide a promising solution to implement better security [1]. A graphical password
is an authentication method that facilitates the user to select from images or symbols
in a precise order on the existing graphical user interface (GUI). People are using
passwords commonly, many times to facilitate online banking transactions, for the
access of social networks and to verify their emails [2].
The most popular way of identifying user authenticity is the use of one time pass-
word [3]. One time passwords are intended to be a top-secret between two parties
and can be used once within the limited time lapse. This prevents someone from
looking over your shoulder and trying to use it later for network sniffing and from
spyware attacks [4]. The password strength of a graphical password scheme is more
than the text-based schemes, and as a result, it provides a superior level of secu-
rity. Owing to this benefit, there is an increasing interest in graphical password. In
graphical password schemes, images or symbols are used as an alternative to alphanu-
merical passwords [5]. The graphical password schemes that are offered protect the
user and/or application privileges from the attempts of hacking [6]. According to
Wiedenbeck et al. [7] unforgettable places depend on the type of image and the
defined sequence of click locations. Chopra et al. [8] present potential outcomes in
terms of security, ease of use and memorability.

2 Related Works

To authenticate the user credentials, reference [9] proposed a click-based graphical

password system. The user is instructed to click a well-ordered sequence of five pass
points on the images of the interface presented. The authentication of the user fails
if he could not be able to choose well-ordered sequence of pass points. As per the
instructions of Jermyn et al. [1], the client is required to “Draw A Secret” (DAS) on the
grid of the accessible interface. The password is the clear-cut pattern presented in a grid.
This scheme is keystroke-independent and allows the user to draw the pattern without
difficulty. Sobrado and Birget [10] talk about “Triangle Scheme” where a number of
pass-objects are displayed on the interface along with the “decoy” objects. The client
chooses the pass objects during the initial sign-up stage. At the authentication phase,
the client must find out the pass objects and it is mandatory to click inside the convex
hull framed by all the pass objects. Since the password space of the hull is vast, the
chance of compromising the password is very low.
The S3PAS scheme was proposed by Zhao et al. [5]. A 10 × 10 fixed grid
containing 94 printable characters consisting of alphabets, digits and special symbols
is shown to the user. The password length is a predetermined string of four charac-
ters such that any three-character combination can form a triangle on the accessible
Implementing Multilevel Graphical Password Authentication … 13

grid. For example, if the password selected is “6Tg:” then choose the combinations,
viz., “6Tg”, “Tg6”, “g:6” and “:6T”. The combinations chosen successfully form
a triangular pattern on the existing interface independently. The user is required to
identify the triangle with the chosen password combinations in the specified order
for authentication. In line with Kiran et al. [11] the users are instructed to recog-
nize quadruplets formed from the password blends on the existing interface from the
password chosen at the time of registration.
Kiran et al. [11] presented a graphical password authentication scheme resistant to
peeping attack which begins with recognizing quadruplets formed from the password
combination chosen from the client, starting with the first character and rotating one
character toward the right in a way that the last character in the password combination
comes into view as the first character of the password combination. For instance, if
the password chosen at the time of registration is “Sa3T:” then the quadruplets formed
are “Sa3TS”, “a3T:a”, “3T:S3”, “T:SaT” and “:Sa3:”. It is compulsory for the user
to select the arrangement of the password blends in the expected fashion rotated for
every login attempt. Ravi Kiran et al. [12] presented a new, interactive, recall-based
scheme where the user starts with identifying the required transformation applied
to every individual character of password amalgamation. Prasad et al. [3] illustrate
that an authentication schema resistant from peeping attack starts with identifying
triangle formed by clicking on the buttons of the interface have colors red, green,
blue and red of the grid, respectively.
Rao et al. [13] proposed the PPC schema. In this, the user is instructed to symbolize
a rectangle on the accessible interface. Any character existing on the edge of the
rectangle may be the pass character. Jusoh et al. [14] exemplify a relative study
of recognition-based authentication algorithms. The comparisons are based on very
important characteristics like usability, weaknesses and security attacks. For better
usability, Stobert et al. [15] suggest that many click-points could be used on smart-
phone displays since it is very difficult to display larger image sizes. Hemavathy
et al. [16] proposed an innovative graphical password authentication system to resist
shoulder surfing. As a part of authentication, the users are instructed to choose the
appropriate horizontal and vertical lines on the pass matrix to find out the pass objects.
Khadke et al. [17] conveyed that the security of the graphical password can be
imposed at multiple levels. Katsini et al. [18] discussed implications to improve
recognition-based graphical passwords by adopting personalization techniques
derived from individual cognitive characteristics.

3 Projected Scheme

In the existing interface, we make use of a 10 × 10 table formed with 94 printable

character set with spaces as shown in Fig. 1.
Password amalgamations are verified with mouse taps on individual cells of the
grid. The precise plan begins with identifying the triangle shape by tapping on the
cells on display. The recognition of the required triangle for that login attempt gener-
ates one time password to the hand-held device. If the user is able to verify the one
14 T. Srinivasa Ravi Kiran et al.

time password, then the login attempt is successful. Suppose a triangle does not form,
then that blend can be overlooked. In previous studies, verification is at a single level
only, that is, the user is expected to identify the required triangle with password
combinations. However, in the proposed work, novelty is achieved in a manner that
the user authentication is carried out at multiple levels in such a way that the user
is expected to validate one time password after the required triangle is identified for
better security.
Permutations of secrete phrase are input by four taps on the displayed screen.
For example, if the secret phrase selected at the sign-up time is “g5:G”, at that point
the plausible triangle shaped by tapping on the cells are “g5:g”, “5:G5”, “:Gg:” and
“Gg5G”, that is, pivoting unique secret key character blend one position from left
to right every time and the first character must be the same as the last character.
The users are instructed to enter the combination of password blend cyclically in the
expected order for every login stab.
Algorithm

2. Register a password of length four.
3. Select five distinct four-character amalgamations of registered passwords,
pivoting from left to right.
4. The user makes an entry attempt by selecting the password amalgamation in the
predicted way on the accessible display.
Implementing Multilevel Graphical Password Authentication … 15

5. If the client opts for correct password amalgamation in an expected manner and
it forms a triangle, then a one time password is sent to the hand-held device and
that one time password is verified on the interface.
6. If the one time password entered on the interface is correct, the login attempt
is successful; otherwise, the login attempt is failed, so evaluate the next
amalgamation.
7. In case if the client does not choose a secret token combination in the expected
style or does not form a triangle shape, the entry process is obstructed, so
disregard that amalgamation of secret tokens and opt next amalgamation of
secret tokens in such a way that all the amalgamations of secret word tokens
must form a triangle.

Step 2: One time password is not generated and the entry is foiled for sequence
“g5:g” at second entry as the client chooses wrong attempt (Fig. 3).
Step 3: For the second instance, the login entry is valid for the password blend “5:G5”

and for one time password “9412” (Fig. 6).

the specific password amalgamation can be ignored (Fig. 7).
For example, if the user clicks on the buttons containing the letters “g5:G”, respec-
tively, the initial token “g” is not the same as the terminal token “G” and the pattern
triangle cannot be formed. In such a case the amalgamation is disregarded. Select
correct amalgamation of password blend in such a way that the triangle is formed.

4 Results and Usability Study

The results were confident and the client’s predictable triangles were formed by
clicking on the cells in an exact manner. It takes 37 ms to identify the required
triangle and to verify one time password as shown in the following four tables.
Peeping attacks were not possible with the proposed scheme since the client taps on
visible tokens are in random order (Tables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8).

5 Comparative Analysis

The visual interface is a 10 × 10 grid where the user is educated to form a triangle with
password blends considered from the password chosen at the time of registration.
At the same time, the user is instructed to enter one time password on the interface
once the password blend is validated.
This type of multilevel evaluation is the first attempt in a password authentication
system. I have analyzed eight schemas of graphical password authentications. Among
all these schemas only four have a look at the approach of taking into consideration
the password blends from the original password. The schemas of the other authors
also did not tell the robustness of the original password and password blends.
In this proposed schema, the robustness of the password and password blends have
been correctly defined and fixed at 99.61% and 97.65%, respectively. The password
and password blends reduce the probability of cracking by the shoulder surfers since
he/she needs to validate every password blend with the onetime password (Figs. 8
and 9).

6 Conclusion

The existing scheme focused on the functioning of the user interface based on static
grids. It is possible to improve security by designing dynamic graphical grids. The
address space for passwords can be improved by increasing the grid size by rows as
well as columns.

Section 2. Information about the Mission

of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new
computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of
volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project
Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™
collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In
2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was
created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project
Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your
efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the
laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status
by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or

 Section 4. Information about Donations to
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission
of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works
that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form
accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated
equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly
important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws

regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of
the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform
and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many
fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not
solicit donations in locations where we have not received written
confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine
the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states

where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know
of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from
donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot

make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations
received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp
our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current

donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a
number of other ways including checks, online payments and
credit card donations. To donate, please visit:
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About

Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could
be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose
network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several

printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by
copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus,
we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any
particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear
about new eBooks.
