MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611002041 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Jan. 8, for 'digital twin-based sandbox system for securing iot devices.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. Raghav Mehra; Yatin Singh; Krrish Parashar; Kunal Jain; and Rijuta Sharma.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a digital twin-based sandbox system (100) designed to developed for the pre-deployment evaluation of IoT devices. It creates high-fidelity digital replicas of physical hardware that precisely mirror firmware operations, configuration parameters, and communication protocols. Within the sandbox environment, these digital twins are subjected to AI-driven simulations that replicate cyberattacks and operational stress conditions, enabling comprehensive assessment of device resilience under realistic scenarios. The system architecture combines a twin generation engine, a virtualized sandbox environment, an adaptive threat simulation module, and a compliance assessment engine. During testing, device behavior is continuously monitored to capture anomalies, performance degradations, and security vulnerabilities. The collected telemetry is analyzed to generate vulnerability scores, recommend remediation measures, and produce deployment readiness indicators."
