MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202531098040 A) filed by Guru Nanak Institute Of Technology, Kolkata, West Bengal, on Oct. 10, 2025, for 'system and procedure for identifying and stopping electronic modification of qr codes in financial transactions.'
Inventor(s) include Mr. Moloy Dhar; Ms. Pallabi Das; Ms. Priyanka Ghosh; Mr. Shuvodeep Debnath; Sourish Modak; and Somrita Banerjee.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure discloses a secure verification framework for QR codes in financial transactions. The system integrates cryptographic signatures, server-side validation, heuristic anomaly detection, and adversarial robustness into a unified architecture. QR codes generated under the system include digital signatures, secure timestamps, watermarks, and cryptographic hashes. When scanned, the codes are validated against reference data stored on secure financial servers, ensuring that tampering is detected in real time. Heuristic monitoring further identifies suspicious behaviours, while adversarial robustness mechanisms resist AI-driven attacks. The disclosure thereby provides a comprehensive shield for QR code-based payments, ensuring authenticity, integrity, and reliability of financial transactions with minimal computational overhead."
