MUMBAI, India, Aug. 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611079830 A) filed by Chandigarh University on June 29, 2026, for Biometric Router Security System With Tamper Detection And Access Control.
Inventors include Nongmeikapam Thoiba Singh; Mukhtiar Singh; Shriya Dogra; Shivani; Kusum Lata; and Pragya Rajput.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a biometric router security system with tamper detection and access control for enhancing network security through hardware-based authentication. The system incorporates a biometric module, such as a fingerprint sensor, integrated within a router to verify user identity before permitting access to administrative functions including network configuration, firmware updates, and factory reset operations. A tamper detection mechanism monitors unauthorized physical access attempts, casing breaches, and repeated authentication failures, and generates real-time alerts through email, SMS, or mobile applications. The system further supports multiple biometric user profiles, role-based access privileges, encrypted storage of biometric data and security logs, and optional dual-factor authentication for critical operations. The invention provides enhanced protection against unauthorized access, network compromise, and physical tampering in residential and enterprise networking environments by combining biometric verification, tamper monitoring, secure access management, and audit logging within a unified architecture.
