MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641025514 A) filed by Canara Engineering College, Mangalore, Karnataka, on March 4, for 'a system and method for post-quantum passwordless authentication and secure data transmission.'

Inventor(s) include Ranganatha K; Harsha Shyam Bhat; Kartik Devidas Nayak; P Rethi Kummar; H Manoj T Gadiyar; Dhananjaya G M; Sadhana B; and Shilpa B.

The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The current invention relates to a post-quantum framework implemented through software enabling passwordless access and safe data communication. The system combines a three-tier cryptographic framework (stream cypher, symmetric encryption and post-quantum digital signature) featuring a Kyber key-exchange manager along with a lattice-based verifier for Dilithium credentials. Encrypted authentication artefacts are dispersed among various server nodes, while an admin/key-management module oversees reconstruction and access. The approach accomplishes approximately 0.292 ms for cryptographic handshake latency and multi-gigabit throughput, surpassing ECC and hybrid benchmarks, while maintaining security even if one layer is compromised. The invention facilitates an effective transition to quantum-safe identity and communication for applications that are high-stakes and sensitive to latency."
