MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511103636 A) filed by Manipal University, Jaipur, Rajasthan, on Oct. 28, 2025, for 'a framework for secure and flexible key-protected identity on smart devices.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Pragya Vaishnav.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a framework for secure and flexible key-protected identity on smart devices. The framework comprises a cryptographic key generation module, a trusted execution environment (TEE), a lightweight cryptography engine, and a public key infrastructure (PKI) module. The public key is verified by a Certificate Authority (CA) through a PKI module, enabling secure authentication for both online and offline services. The system enhances privacy and security by allowing only hashed components of private keys to be exposed during unauthorized queries and includes an unknowable encryption constant to resist key extraction. Authentication attempts using incorrect private keys are automatically rejected, ensuring robust defense against spoofing. The framework supports multiple use cases including e-KYC, electronic voting, mobile banking, telemedicine, and secure IoT authentication, all while complying with open standards for interoperability and scalability."
