MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641042367 A) filed by Srm University- Ap, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, on April 2, for 'hybrid post-quantum and quantum walk-assisted cryptographic system and a method for secure vehicular communications.'
Inventor(s) include G. V. Vidyalakshmi.
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 invention relates to a system (100) for secure vehicular communication implemented via processors onboard vehicles and infrastructures communicating with vehicles, comprising of a post-quantum key generation module (102) configured to generate a shared secret between vehicles using a lattice-based key encapsulation mechanism and store the shared secret as a 32-byte master seed (104); a quantum walk module (106) configured to generate a quantum diversification bytes using a quantum walk process and implemented using a quantum simulation framework; a cryptographic key derivation module (108) configured to derive a session key (110) by combining the master seed (104) and the quantum diversification bytes using High Key Derivation Function-Secure Hash Algorithm-256 (HKDF-SHA256); and an encryption & decryption module (112) configured to perform Advanced Encryption Standard with Galois/Counter Mode (AES-GCM) authenticated encryption and decryption of vehicular messages using the session key (110)."
