The application for the patent was published on June 26, 2026, under issue no. 26/2026.
Abstract: The present invention discloses a quantum-secure distributed price verification system for monitoring, validating, and authenticating product prices across online shopping platforms. The system comprises a web input interface (100), a processing layer (200), and an output layer (300). The processing layer includes a distributed multi-node architecture (208) and a price extraction module (201) configured to simultaneously retrieve pricing information from multiple sources using anti-bot extraction techniques. Extracted prices are processed by a price normalization engine (202) to determine a final payable amount by incorporating taxes, shipping charges, discounts, coupons, and cashback benefits. A consensus validation module (203) determines a verified price, while an anomaly detection and confidence module (204) identifies irregular pricing patterns and computes reliability scores. A certificate and post-quantum cryptographic security module (206, 207) generates cryptographic validation records and certificate identifiers. Verified prices are stored in a secure historical price database (209), and automated alerts (301) are generated when predefined pricing conditions are satisfied.
