MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641048846 A) filed by S. Hrushikesava Raju; K V V Satyanarayana; T V Krishna Chowdary; and Koneru Lakshmaiah Education Foundation, Mangalagiri, Andhra Pradesh, on April 16, for 'real-time trust-aware and chaotic hash-based integrity verification framework for dynamic wireless sensor networks.'

Inventor(s) include K V V Satyanarayana; and T V Krishna Chowdary.

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: "Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have become a key technology for monitoring and collecting the data in critical domains such as healthcare, environmental sensing, and industrial automation. However, their deployment in dynamic and resource-constrained environments exposes to severe security threats, including clone node attacks, identity spoofing, and data tampering, while also being limited by energy, memory, and computational constraints. To address these, a unified and lightweight security framework is proposed that integrates trust-aware routing, chaotic hash-based integrity verification, clone node detection, and dynamic encryption mechanisms. The hybrid framework employs an Ant Colony Optimization-based routing strategy enhanced with trust evaluation metrics to ensure secure and reliable path selection. A nonlinear chaotic hashing approach is introduced to generate high-randomness integrity signatures for node authentication with minimal computational overhead. Additionally, clone node detection is achi."
