MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641061626 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on May 14, for 'system and method for trust-based participant control in threshold cryptographic operations.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. S M Farooq; Dr. Arumuga Arun R; Lakshya Soni; Marmik Pradip Kaila; and Gaurish Todi.
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 Trust-Based Participant Control in Threshold Cryptographic Operations A system and method for managing participant involvement in threshold cryptographic operations are disclosed. The system operates as an external control layer interfacing with a threshold cryptographic system in which multiple participants hold cryptographic shares. Participant-related data including behavioral, contextual, and historical information is acquired and processed to generate trust scores and predict risk levels using machine learning models. Relationships among participants are analyzed using graph-based techniques to detect potential collusion. A policy engine evaluates authorization conditions based on a combined assessment of trust scores, predicted risk, and collusion detection. Prior to execution of a threshold cryptographic operation, a control module determines whether each participant satisfies the authorization conditions and selectively permits or restricts participation. The system enhances security by enabling dynamic, pre-execution control of participant involvement without modifying underlying cryptographic primitives."
