MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511106870 A) filed by Model Institute Of Engineering And Technology; and Gupta, Ankur, Jammu, Jammu & Kashmir, on Nov. 4, 2025, for 'dual-mode network traffic obfuscation apparatus with quantum random number generation.'
Inventor(s) include Gupta, Ankur; and Khan, Naveed Jeelani.
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 disclosure provides a network traffic obfuscation apparatus (100), system (200), and method (300) for mitigating timing-based inference attacks through quantum randomness and adaptive mode control. The apparatus includes quantum randomness engine (102) having quantum random number generator (102-2) coupled to chaotic map processor (102-4) generating non-deterministic timing offsets (102-6), traffic obfuscation unit (104) with circular packet buffer (104-2) and cover packet generator (104-4) interleaving data packets with dummy packets, threat detection processor (106) enabling dynamic switching between normal obfuscation mode and active obfuscation mode, distributed ledger audit processor (112) storing cryptographic hashes in permissioned blockchain, and quantum-resistant tunnel processor (114). The system supports on-premise deployment (202) and cloud-based deployment (208) providing obfuscation-as-a-service (210). Unlike conventional encryption alone, this approach achieves unpredictable traffic timing patterns through quantum-grade randomness while maintaining network performance."
