MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631043293 A) filed by Dr. Sudhir Chandra Sur Institute Of Technology and Sports Complex, Kolkata, West Bengal, on April 4, for 'blockchain-verified drone authentication fence.'
Inventor(s) include Mr. Suvendu Mondal; Dr. Saradindu Panda; and Mr. Sobhan Chakraborty.
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 blockchain-verified drone authentication fence for securing protected airspaces against unauthorized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The system establishes a virtual security perimeter that authenticates drones in real time using cryptographic identity verification and distributed ledger technology. Each authorized drone is registered on a blockchain network with a unique digital identity. When a drone approaches a protected zone, authentication fence nodes initiate a secure verification process in which encrypted credentials are validated through blockchain-based smart contracts. Access to the airspace is granted only upon successful verification, while unauthorized drones are denied entry and logged for audit purposes. The invention operates without reliance on centralized authorization servers or destructive counter-drone measures, thereby enhancing security, scalability, and regulatory compliance. The proposed system is applicable to defense zones, airports, smart cities, and critical infrastructure requiring reliable and tamper-proof drone authentication."
