MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641062183 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on May 15, for 'system and method for real-time malware detection using hardware performance counters and conditional enrichment.'
Inventor(s) include Devin Thakur; and Dr. G. N. Vivekananda.
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: "System and Method for Real-Time Malware Detection using Hardware Performance Counters and Conditional Enrichment The present invention discloses a system and method for real-time malware detection using Hardware Performance Counters (HPCs) and conditional threat enrichment. Hardware event telemetry is extracted from CPU HPCs using an atomic producer protocol and ingested into a distributed stream processing engine. The telemetry is structured into in-memory micro-batches without utilizing physical disk storage to achieve zero-disk latency. A gradient-boosted classifier evaluates the micro-batches based on a defined feature schema and generates a probabilistic confidence score representing a likelihood of malicious activity. When the confidence score exceeds a defined threshold, a conditional threat enrichment process is triggered, wherein a cryptographic hash of the payload is mapped to a Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) identifier and a Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score is dynamically generated. The enriched data is aggregated and presented through an asynchronous visualization interface for real-time monitoring."
