MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641024622 A) filed by Srm Institute Of Science And Technology; and Easwari Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on March 2, for 'nask: software-implemented non-inspectable adaptive secure key system using single-use quantum tokens.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Ballika J Chelliah; Dr. Judy Flavia; Sarath Raam; and Datta Keshavan.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to a software-implemented privacy enforcement system utilizing single-use quantum-encoded tokens for secure digital transaction authorization. The system integrates a classical ledger with a quantum state encoding and verification engine such that unauthorized inspection, replay, duplication, or inference attempts result in detectable quantum state disturbance and automatic token invalidation. The invention enforces non-inspectability at the protocol level by embedding trap-state encoding logic into token generation and verification workflows. The system may operate using quantum simulation frameworks or cloud-accessible quantum backends. The architecture ensures single use validity, tamper detection, administrative access restriction, and lifecycle bound transaction authorization without reliance solely on computational cryptographic assumptions."
