MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641047773 A) filed by Francis Xavier Engineering College, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, on April 15, for 'phantomguard intelligent honeypot network for proactive threat defense.'

Inventor(s) include Kathija Sirajun Nisha B; Madhumitha M; Durgaveni G; Nasrin Banu S; and Jai Shree S.

The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Catastrophic security breaches within today's complex enterprise networks have been made possible through the pervasive threat of zero-day ransomware and data exfiltration attacks by insiders. The traditional security paradigm is founded upon binary access control models that implicitly trust users that have been authenticated. The present invention describes an intelligent threat defense system that transitions from reactive monitoring to proactive behavioral validation. The system combines the capabilities of a stochastic Z-Score engine, real-time Shannon Entropy analysis, and dynamic deception techniques. Upon identifying anomalous behavioral deviations, the system utilizes Algorithmic Shadow Routing to seamlessly redirect the network requests of the attacking entity to a fabricated synthetic database without terminating the session. The system also utilizes Network Tarpitting to slow down the TCP socket transmission speed of the attacking malware to physically exhaust its processing capabilities. Dynamic Polymorphic Watermarking is employed to fabricate deceptive payloads within volatile memory space and assign cryptographic identifiers for absolute attribution. The hardware-centric security paradigm ensures sub-second threat neutralization and strong zero-trust data security."
