MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611051733 A) filed by Manipal University, Jaipur, Rajasthan, on April 23, for 'a zero-knowledge proofs for secure ai-to-user data interaction.'
Inventor(s) include Manan Agarwal; Avni Verma; Siddhanta Kumar Singh; and Vijay Shankar Sharma.
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 present invention relates to a zero-knowledge data vault system that enables secure storage, private verification, and encrypted processing of data. The system comprises a storage module storing encrypted data with associated cryptographic commitments, including Merkle structures; a prover module generating non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs using predefined or dynamically generated circuits for predicates over stored data; and a verifier module validating such proofs without accessing the underlying plaintext. The system further comprises a hardware-accelerated cryptographic module, including a hardware security module or secure enclave, for executing intensive cryptographic operations and safeguarding keys, and a key management module implementing threshold cryptography requiring multi-party authorization for decryption and signing. An interface module provides application programming interfaces for submitting predicate-based queries and returning either access-controlled decrypted outputs or corresponding zero-knowledge attestations. The system also supports integration with machine learning workflows and enables limited computation over encrypted data using homomorphic techniques."
