MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631062586 A) filed by National Institute Of Technology, Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, on May 18, for 'system and method for disease-dependent adaptive authentication lockout policy in medical cyber-physical systems.'
Inventor(s) include Roychowdhury, Saptarshi; and Singh, Dr. Binod Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to a disease-dependent adaptive authentication lockout system (100) for a medical cyber-physical system environment (140). A health data interface unit (156) obtains patient-associated health-condition information indicative of authentication difficulty of a patient (130). A processing unit (150), coupled with a secure memory unit (152), an authentication input and biometric sensing unit (158), and a risk signal collection unit (160), derives patient-specific authentication difficulty attributes, monitors authentication attempt information, determines a risk condition, and generates a patient-specific lockout control decision. An adaptive lockout decision module (114) modifies a lockout parameter before enforcing lockout based on the difficulty attribute, authentication attempt information, and risk condition. The system prevents relaxation under suspicious activity and may initiate fallback, assisted authentication, emergency access, logging, notification, and profile update through modules (116), (118), and (120). The system avoids storing raw disease names in the authentication module (108)."
