MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641025012 A) filed by Dr. K. C. Ravi Kumar; G. Sirisha; A. Nagabala; T. Reshma; P. Ramesh; and S. J. Sumanth, Gachibowli, Telangana, on March 3, for 'trust system and multiple verification technique based method for detecting wormhole attacks in manets.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. K. C. Ravi Kumar; G. Sirisha; A. Nagabala; T. Reshma; P. Ramesh; and S. J. Sumanth.
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: "A trust system and multiple verification technique-based method for detecting wormhole attacks in MANETs is disclosed. The system dynamically evaluates node trust, applies multiple verification mechanisms, and utilizes machine learning to accurately detect and mitigate wormhole attacks, ensuring secure and reliable network communication. The present invention relates to network security in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) and more particularly to a trust system combined with multiple verification techniques for detecting and mitigating wormhole attacks. Mobile Ad Hoc Networks are decentralized, infrastructure-less networks vulnerable to various routing attacks, particularly wormhole attacks. Existing detection mechanisms often rely on single-layer verification or static trust models, making them ineffective against sophisticated attacks and highly dynamic network environments. 1. To detect wormhole attacks in MANETs using a trust-based approach. 2. To apply multiple verification techniques for higher detection accuracy. 3. To enable real-time and scalable attack detection. 4. To reduce false positives and improve network reliability."
