MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631019189 A) filed by Jis College Of Engineering, Kalyani, West Bengal, on Feb. 19, for 'Intelligent iot security framework for smart cities using machine learning techniques.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. Bikramjit Sarkar; Mr. Sumanta Chatterjee; Mr. Kaushik Roy Choudhury; Pratyush Mondal; Airshwita Saha; Barnik Podder; and Parthib Sarkar.

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: "The present invention discloses an intelligent security framework for Internet of Things (IoT) systems deployed in smart city environments, addressing the increasing cybersecurity risks associated with large-scale, interconnected urban infrastructure. The framework employs a distributed, multi-tier architecture comprising edge, fog, and cloud layers to enable real-time detection, analysis, and mitigation of cyber threats. Machine learning techniques, including supervised, unsupervised, and deep learning models, are utilized to analyze device behavior, network traffic, and system interactions in order to identify anomalies, intrusions, and emerging attack patterns. Lightweight authentication and anomaly detection are performed at the edge layer to ensure low-latency protection, while the fog layer aggregates data and applies ensemble-based analysis for localized threat assessment. The cloud layer manages global threat intelligence, model training, and policy dissemination. The framework further incorporates federated learning to preserve data privacy and reduce communication overhead, along with an automated response mechanism capable of isolating compromised devices and adjusting access controls in real time. The invention provides a scalable, adaptive, and resource-efficient security solution for safeguarding smart city IoT infrastructures against evolving cyber threats."
