MUMBAI, India, June 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641072294 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology on June 10, 2026, for Secure Hyper-Scalable Electronic Voting Apparatus With Hardware-Isolated Forensic Verification.
Inventors include Goutam Majumder; Dr. Ganesh Shamrao Khekare; Divyansh Maheshwari; and Gheewala Parv Rupesh.
The application for the patent was published on June 19, 2026, under issue no. 25/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a secure hyper-scalable electronic voting apparatus incorporating hardware-isolated forensic verification and cryptographic integrity monitoring. The apparatus comprises encrypted vote generation infrastructure, zero-knowledge proof validation, high-throughput non-blockchain distributed ledger architecture, immutable forensic replication, unidirectional hardware data diode communication, Merkle-based integrity verification, trusted platform attestation, recursive tamper localization, and homomorphic tally computation. Voting payloads are sequentially written into a distributed ledger and simultaneously streamed into an air-gapped forensic replica for independent cryptographic verification. Real-time comparison of cryptographic state hashes enables immediate detection of unauthorized modification. The invention provides end-to-end voter verifiability, hardware-enforced forensic integrity, privacy-preserving tally generation, and transaction throughput exceeding 250,000 operations per second suitable for national-scale election deployment.
