MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202531129680 A) filed by Guru Nanak Institute Of Technology, Kolkata, West Bengal, on Dec. 20, 2025, for 'virtual honeypot system based on blockchain.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. Mandira Banik; Dr. Sayan Nath; Ms. Bidyutmala Saha; Sagnik Karmakar; Aritra Sadhukhan; and Srijeet Lahiri.
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: "A Blockchain-Based Virtual Honeypot System provides a secure, distributed, and tamper-evident cyber security solution. The disclosure merges virtual honeypots and distributed ledger technology to create an advanced platform for detecting, monitoring, and responding to cyber threats. A key feature is the integration of a blockchain ledger for immutably recording all event data and malicious activity, thereby guaranteeing data integrity for forensic analysis. The system further utilizes autonomous smart contracts to manage adaptive responses based on pre-established threat behaviour rules. Peer-to-peer networking facilitates the real-time dissemination of attack intelligence among individual honeypot nodes, enabling a collective, consensus-based defence. This system addresses critical limitations of traditional honeypots, such as susceptibility to data tampering and a lack of real-time adaptability, presenting an intelligent, scalable, and transparent security solution."
