MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621003918 A) filed by Sage University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on Jan. 14, for 'dna epigenetic authentication chip with on-chip hashing and tamper-resistant vault.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Prashant Jain; Prof. Snehlata Mishra; Dr. Ritu Tandon; Vishal Rahletia; and Om Shukla.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A DNA epigenetic authentication chip (100) for privacy-preserving identity verification is disclosed. The chip comprises an epigenetic sensor (102) configured to detect epigenetic markers from a biological sample and generate sensor signals, a microfluidic module (104) for sample transport, an epigenetic processor (106) configured to generate a digital epigenetic signature based on the epigenetic markers, a cryptographic hashing module (108) configured to convert the digital epigenetic signature into a cryptographic hash key on-chip such that raw epigenetic data does not leave the chip, and a tamper-resistant vault (110) with tamper detection sensors (110A) configured to detect unauthorized access and trigger protective countermeasures. The chip provides privacy-preserving authentication by ensuring raw genetic data never leaves the device while providing forgery-resistant verification through dynamic epigenetic markers."
