MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617003523 A) filed by Horizon 3 AI, Inc., Dover, U.S.A., on Jan. 13, for 'low-compute, privacy preserving hash cracking.'
Inventor(s) include Sunkavally, Naveen Naga.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Clear text passcodes are recovered from hashed versions of passcodes in a computational efficient and privacy preserving manner. A service provider computes an initial hash of clear text passcodes in a wordlist, computes a subsequent hash on top of the initial hash, and groups or bins the clear text passcodes based on a portion (e.g., prefix) of their subsequent hashes. A client computes a subsequent hash of a hashed passcode to be cracked, and sends a request specifying a portion of the subsequent hash to the service provider. The service provider returns a set of clear text passcodes whose hash of a hash has a match with the specified portion. The client locally computes the initial hash of clear text passcodes in the returned set, and determines if any of the resulting hashes match the hashed passcode to be cracked, and if so the passcode is considered cracked."
