MUMBAI, India, Sept. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611090821 A) filed by Noida Institute Of Engineering And Technology Niet on July 26, 2026, for Distributed Consensus-Based Runtime Governance System For Autonomous Multi-Agent Swarms With Threshold-Signed Provenance.
Inventors include Shamshad Ali; and Annu Nagar.
The application for the patent was published on September 18, 2026, under issue no. 38/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a distributed runtime governance system (100) for autonomous multi-agent swarms. A gateway (110) suspends each proposed tool action; a context capture module (120) with tracker (122) assembles an evidence bundle. A Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus coordinator (200) distributes the action to a peer set (210) each hosting a policy engine (140), grounding verifier (150) and risk module (160), deriving a verdict tolerant of up to f faulty nodes among 3f+1. A provenance chain generator (130) commits threshold-signed hash-linked records via a distributed key management unit (180) using (t,n) threshold signing. A zero- knowledge attestation composer (195) permits privacy-preserving compliance disclosure. [Figure 1]
