Inventor(s) include Bushra Muneeb; Sruthi Thanugundala; C. Swathi; R Karunasree; Syed Jani Shahanaaz; Allavala Bhagyasree; Madhavi Latha Munipalle; and Dr. Ravindra Changala.
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: "The present invention discloses a Scalable Quantum Machine Learning Engine (SQMLE) for Next-Generation Cyber Defense-a novel hybrid quantum-classical computing architecture designed to overcome the fundamental limitations of existing cybersecurity frameworks in addressing modern and quantum-era cyber threats. The SQMLE integrates a Classical Preprocessing Module, a Quantum Feature Encoding Layer employing amplitude and angle encoding techniques, a Variational Quantum Circuit (VQC) Classifier with parameterized rotation and entangling gates, a Hybrid Classical Post-Processing Layer, and an integrated Threat Intelligence Output Module. The system further incorporates a Quantum Federated Learning (QFL) module for privacy-preserving collaborative threat intelligence, a Self-Adaptive Reinforcement Learning Module for continuous threat model evolution, and an integrated Post-Quantum Cryptographic Shield implementing CRYSTALS-Kyber and CRYSTALS-Dilithium algorithms. The SQMLE achieves threat detection accuracy of 98.7%, real-time classification latency below 8 milliseconds, false positive rates of 1.2%, and linear scalability up to 500,000 concurrent network endpoints-substantially outperforming state-of-the-art classical deep learning baselines across all performance dimensions. The invention is applicable across diverse cybersecurity domains including 5G network protection, IoT security, cloud infrastructure defense, and critical national information infrastructure protection. Filed under the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) framework of India pursuant to The Patent Act, 1970 (39 of 1970) and The Patents Rules, 2003, the invention represents a significant advancement in the field of quantum cybersecurity, offering an inventive step, industrial applicability, and novelty beyond existing prior art."
