Inventor(s) include Snehadrita Chakraborty; Dr. Manju Lata; Er. Prashant Ahluwalia; Er. Ankita Sharma; and Er. Priyanka Sharma.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a hardware-software integrated cybersecurity system that provides secure, authenticated, and tamper-resistant vulnerability assessment of websites, networks, and IP addresses. A hardware-software integrated cybersecurity system comprising: a microcontroller configured to interface with a secure cryptographic element via an I C communication bus; a laptop or computing device executing a software-based vulnerability scanning module; and a hardware authentication module implemented by the secure cryptographic element, the secure cryptographic element being configured to generate, store, and utilize private cryptographic keys without exposing said keys externally. The microcontroller is configured to receive authentication challenges from the software module, transmit the challenges to the secure cryptographic element, and return signed authentication responses to the software module. The software module is configured to enable or restrict vulnerability scanning operations based on the authentication response generated by the secure cryptographic element."
