MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611002042 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Jan. 8, for 'self-destructing virtualized instance system for secure, short-lived computation in cloud environments.'
Inventor(s) include Shaman Sharma; Dr. Sashi Tarun; and Dr. Deepak Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a self-destructing virtualized instance system for secure, short-lived computation in cloud environments designed to handle highly sensitive workloads within a fully temporary and self-erasing environment. The system guarantees complete non-retention of all execution artifacts. It operates through a stateless, RAM-only execution model, ensuring that no persistent storage, system logs, or runtime records are generated at any stage. Each job runs inside an isolated, administrator-invisible compute instance that exists solely for the duration of a single task. Once the task is completed, the instance initiates a secure self-destruction protocol that irreversibly wipes memory, identifiers, and metadata, making forensic recovery impossible. To provide verifiable assurance, the system issues a cryptographically signed Proof of Non-Retention to the user, confirming the total erasure of the execution environment."
