MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541133474 A) filed by Rahul Chandra Reddy Karne; and Akshitha Segireddy, Farmers Branch, U.S.A., on Dec. 30, 2025, for 'system and method for cryptographic evidence custody with real-time integrity verification and temporal attestation.'

Inventor(s) include Rahul Chandra Reddy Karne; and Akshitha Segireddy.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure relate to system for cryptographic evidence custody with real-time integrity verification and temporal attestation. The system includes a forensic computing device configured to receive digital evidence from an external device in a read-only acquisition mode, thereby preventing modification of the evidence source. A processor executes a forensic evidence custody processing module configured to control evidence acquisition, integrity verification, temporal attestation, detection analysis, cryptographic binding, and custody-record generation. The forensic evidence custody processing module routes an evidence data stream to hardware processing units including an evidence acquisition protection unit, cryptographic hash processing unit, a temporal attestation unit, an accelerated evidence pattern analysis unit, and cryptographic signature generation unit. Block-level hash values, trusted timestamp values, and detection records are generated and combined to form cryptographic commitments. The cryptographic commitments and acquisition-integrity information are consolidated into unified custody record providing hardware-assisted cryptographic evidence preservation and are transmitted."
