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: "WebShield is a lightweight and modular API security middleware built ustng the Go programming language. It protects ~eb applications from common cyber threats by validating and filtering client requests before they reach the backend. The system consists of independent middleware modules for logging, secure headers, rate limiting, JWT authentication, and input sanitization, creating a layered defense mechanism that ensures safe data exchange between c.l ients and servers .. Unlike traditional API gateways or web firewalls that require complex setups and extemal integrations, WebShield operates entirely within the host application through minimal, selfcontained code. Its efficient and adaptable design makes it ideal for lightweight deployments, educational projects, and small-scale systems. By applying multiple security checks on every request, WebShield prevents unauthorized access, injection attacks, denial-of-service attempts, and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities."
