MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641061651 A) filed by Srm Institute Of Science And Technology, Ramapuram Campus; and Easwari Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on May 15, for 'blockchain-based secure encrypted email client across all smtp servers..'
Inventor(s) include Mr. Aalan Sason Singarayan; Ms Evanka Vinoliya E; Ms. Harini. V; and C. Kudiyarasudevi.
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 blockchain-based secure encrypted email addresses critical vulnerabilities in contemporary email communication systems by introducing a novel architecture that combines blockchain-based key management with advanced cryptographic protocols. Current email infrastructure relies on a centralized key storage mechanism, creating security risks and a single point of failure. This invention establishes a decentralized framework where cryptographic keys exist independently of email service providers, stored and managed through an immutable blockchain ledger. The system provides the user with an encrypted message, and each encrypted message carries a unique key identifier embedded within its structure, enabling seamless retrieval and decryption when accessed through the proprietary platform interface. While encrypted communication appears as an indecipherable data stream within standard email clients, the specialized interface automatically authenticates users, retrieves appropriate decryption keys from the blockchain registry, and renders content in plaintext. This architectural approach maintains complete compatibility with existing email infrastructure while fundamentally transforming the security paradigm through distributed key custody, end-to-end encryption, and resistance to emerging quantum computing threats."
