MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541123544 A) filed by Easwari Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 8, 2025, for 'cloudcover ai: ml-powered real-time data masking in cloud storage for gdpr/dpdp compliance.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. M. Hema; Jyothishree Rajkumar; and Karthikeyan V.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "CloudCover AI is a machine-learning-powered real-time data masking system designed to protect sensitive information during cloud ingestion processes. Unlike traditional post-storage anonymization tools, the system performs masking at the point of data entry, ensuring that raw Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Protected Health Information (PHI) are never exposed or stored in unprotected form. The invention 15 integrates transformer-based Natural Language Processing (NLP), custom Named Entity Recognition (NER), and rule-based detection to accurately identify sensitive entities across structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data formats. Masking techniques such as redaction, pseudonymization, tokenization, and format-preserving transformation are applied dynamically based on compliance requirements. The system 20 further incorporates secure cloud integration, audit logging, and automated validation Q) mechanisms that support GDPR and DPDP regulations. By combining intelligence, C) aI.l.l scalability, and regulatory compliance, CloudCover AI provides a robust framework for secure, real-time privacy preservation in modern cloud environments."
