Abstract: Abstract of the Invention The present invention relates to an intelligent Edge Artificial Intelligence (Edge Al) framework for offline ration authentication with secure biometric enrollment and delayed cloud synChronization. The invention comprises a biometric capture module, a secure biometric enrollment module, an Edge Al authentication module, a secure local storage module, a network monitoring module, a delayed cloud synchronization module, and a centralized cloud database. The biometric capture module acquires beneficiary biometric data, while the enrollment module generates and securely stores encrypted biometric templates. The Edge Al authentication module performs local biometric verification without requiring continuous internet connectivity, thereby enabling uninterrupted ration authentication in low-connectivity or offline environments. Upon successful authentication, ration distribution transactions are securely recorded in encrypted local storage. The network monitoring module detects the availability of interne connectivity and initiates delayed synchronization of offline transaction records with the centralized cloud database when connectivity is restored. The cloud database validates and updates beneficiary records while preventing duplicate or unauthorized transactions. The proposed invention enhances the reliability, security, and efficiency of Public Distribution Systems by enabling secure offline authentication, protecting biometric data, ensuring transaction integrity, and supporting seamless synchronisation between edge devices and cloud infrastructure.
