MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541123083 A) filed by Cvr College Of Engineering, Hyderabad, Telangana, on Dec. 6, 2025, for 'dynamic trust consensus algorithm for federated learning.'
Inventor(s) include K Deepthi Reddy.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention introduces a Dynamic Trust Consensus Algorithm for Federated Learning (FL) to enhance model robustness and security. Traditional FL systems are vulnerable to data poisoning and malicious client updates; this approach mitigates such risks through a central aggregator server equipped with a Trust Management Unit (TMU). The TMU dynamically computes a real-time trust score for each participating client using heuristics such as contribution consistency, historical reliability, and statistical analysis of submitted model updates. Instead of equal averaging, the server performs trust-weighted aggregation, giving higher influence to clients with stronger trust scores. Clients showing adversarial or low-quality behavior are down weighted or systematically pruned. This adaptive mechanism strengthens resistance to manipulation, improves convergence under non-IID data conditions, and enables reliable high-performance deployment in decentralized and untrusted environments."
