MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641024608 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on March 2, for 'a dual-mode authentication system using session and jwt tokens in spring security.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. V. Sivakumar; R. Karunya Lakshmi; G. Dharshini; and N. Yashodha.

The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure proposes a dual-mode authentication system (100) that seamlessly and dynamically transitions between session-based and token-based (JWT) authentication mechanisms, thereby providing robust access control and ensuring optimized performance across diverse deployment architectures, including monolithic, distributed, and cloud environments. The dual-mode authentication system (100) comprises a computing device (102) having a processor (104) and a memory (106) for storing one or more instructions executable by the processor (104). The processor (104) is configured to execute plurality of modules (108) for dynamically switching between stateful and stateless authentication models. The plurality of modules (108) comprises a data acquisition module (110), an authentication module (112), a switching module (114), a verification module (116), and an access module (118). The proposed system (100) integrates both session-based and JWT- based security mechanisms, enabling seamless authentication in environments that require stateful and stateless authentication models, respectively."
