Inventor(s) include Palakurla Shiva Kumar; and Dr. Arjun Nelikanti.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a system and method for password-less authentication using Zero-Knowledge Proofs within a Zero Trust Network Architecture, incorporating continuous authentication mechanisms. The system enables a user to authenticate without revealing secret credentials by generating and verifying Zero-Knowledge Proofs. Continuous monitoring of behavioral and contextual parameters allows dynamic computation of a trust score, which governs real-time access control decisions. The invention enhances security by eliminating password-based vulnerabilities and ensuring continuous verification thereby providing resistance against phishing, replay attacks and credential compromise while maintaining usability and privacy."
