MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511112804 A) filed by Kiet Group Of Institutions, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, on Nov. 17, 2025, for 'digital voting system with integrated multi-factor authentication, cryptographic encryption, and immutable audit trails.'
Inventor(s) include Rahul Kumar; Raunak Raj; Rana Ayush; Abhay Gupta; and Sundeep Raj.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention, titled "VoteBank - Smart Digital Voting System," discloses a secure, transparent, and scalable digital voting platform that integrates cryptographic encryption, multi-factor authentication, and immutable audit trails to ensure end-to-end election integrity. The system is implemented as a web and mobile application built on a client-server architecture, allowing eligible voters to authenticate using OTPs, biometric validation, and ID-based verification before securely casting votes through an intuitive digital interface. Each vote is encrypted using AES-256 and protected through RSA key management before being transmitted via secure network protocols (TLS/SSL) to a tamper-proof database. Real-time result processing enables instant, verifiable tallying of votes upon election closure, while all system activities-including authentication, vote casting, and result generation-are recorded in an immutable audit log accessible to authorized auditors. The invention provides a scalable, accessible, and cost-efficient alternative to conventional voting systems, ensuring confidentiality, accuracy, and public trust in democratic processes."
