MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611026663 A) filed by Dr. Apoorva Joshi Baisakh; Dr. Sandeep Awachar; Dr. M. Maheswari; Dr. C. Amuthadevi; Dr Aruna S; Mr Dhandapani R; and Dr. Suneet Kumar, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on March 6, for 'multi-factor authentication system using behavioral biometrics.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. Apoorva Joshi; Baisakh; Dr. Sandeep Awachar; Dr. M. Maheswari; Dr. C. Amuthadevi; Dr Aruna S; Mr Dhandapani R; and Dr. Suneet Kumar.

The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Behavioral biometrics is an identification method that examines the distinctive patterns in a user's activities-such as mouse movements, touchscreen interactions, and typing velocity-to confirm their identity. Fraudsters and cybercriminals are increasingly targeting genuine users through malware, phishing, and social engineering schemes to get passwords and usurp their accounts for nefarious purposes. Identity assaults, including credential theft, phishing, spoofing, and replay, are growing common, compromising the effectiveness of MFA. Despite enhancements in security through knowledge-, possession-, and biometric-based methods, they remain susceptible to theft, unpredictability, and usability challenges. Despite the potential of behavioral biometrics, they are limited by elevated surveillance expenses, neuromotor variability, and catastrophic forgetting in adaptive AI systems. The cognitive-behavioral MFA framework combines procedural memory traits with accessible credentials to create a strong, low-latency, neuroinspired authentication mechanism. As a result, it addresses the limitations of conventional and behavioral systems, hence offering secure and adaptive human-AI authentication frameworks."
