Beyond 6-Digit Codes: Next-Gen AI Models for Phishing-Resistant Cybersecurity
Save Time: The invention enhances cybersecurity in cyberspace by addressing vulnerabilities in traditional Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) systems, particularly those using the TOTP (Time-Based One-Time Password) algorithm.
Strengthening IoT Platform Security
Problem: IoT devices often rely on cryptographic authentication (CA) with static credentials, making them vulnerable to phishing and credential theft.
Solution: The invention’s AI-based authentication replaces static TOTP codes with dynamic, context-aware responses. For example, an IoT device could use a synchronized LLM model to answer time-based or interactive questions, reducing reliance on predictable 6-digit codes.
Impact: Enhances phishing resistance and usability in federated identity systems where cross-domain access is critical.
Improving MFA in Financial Services
Problem: Financial institutions face challenges balancing security and user experience with traditional MFA (e.g., hardware tokens or biometrics).
Solution: The invention’s synchronized LLM models can generate context-aware authentication challenges (e.g., “What was your last transaction amount?”) that adapt to user behaviour, reducing friction while maintaining security.
Impact: Enables adaptive authentication that triggers additional verification only during high-risk transactions, improving user satisfaction and compliance.
Mitigating TOTP’s Weaknesses
Problem: TOTP’s reliance on HMAC-SHA1 and 6-digit codes makes it susceptible to brute-force attacks and hash function exploits .
Solution: The invention replaces TOTP with AI-generated answers that are harder to predict and validate against generic outputs. For example, a user’s LLM sub-model might answer a time-based question with a multi-modal response (text + image), expanding the value space beyond 6 digits.
Impact: Reduces the risk of replay attacks and credential theft by eliminating static codes and outdated hashing.
Enhancing Context-Aware Authentication
Problem: Traditional MFA lacks contextual awareness, making it vulnerable to attacks in dynamic environments .
Solution: The invention integrates context-aware logic into authentication challenges. For example:
User Behavior: If a user typically logs in from a specific location, the system could ask a location-specific question.
Device Recognition: Unrecognized devices trigger adaptive challenges (e.g., “Describe your last login session”).
Impact: Strengthens security while reducing false positives, improving user experience in software systems .
Securing Space Systems
Problem: Space systems face evolving cyber threats, including attacks on satellite communication and data integrity .
Solution: The invention’s AI synchronization can be applied to onboard systems for real-time threat detection and authentication. For example:
Laser Crosslinks: Use synchronized LLM models to authenticate commands between satellites.
Fail-Safe Modes: Trigger AI-generated challenges during anomalies (e.g., “Verify the last command sent to the satellite”).
Impact: Enhances resilience in space systems by integrating cybersecurity into design and operation
Key Benefits in Cyberspace l AI and Machine Learning Patent Law
Dynamic Security: Replaces static codes with AI-generated, context-aware responses that adapt to user behavior and environmental factors.
Phishing Resistance: Validates answers against generic AI outputs, preventing attackers from spoofing responses.
Scalability: Lightweight LLM sub-models enable deployment on low-resource devices (e.g., IoT sensors, space hardware).
Compliance: Aligns with frameworks like GDPR and CMMC by reducing reliance on outdated cryptographic methods.
Steps to Secure an AI/ML Patent
Innovation Assessment:
Determine if your AI/ML invention solves a technical problem (e.g., enhancing MFA security) and is novel.
Patent Drafting:
Write detailed claims covering the invention’s architecture, training methods, and applications.
Filing Strategy:
Choose jurisdictions based on market goals (e.g., PCT for global coverage, direct filings in key markets).
Prosecution:
Respond to patent office queries (e.g., addressing § 101 rejections in the U.S.) and negotiate claim scope.
Maintenance:
Monitor patents for infringement and update claims as AI technology evolves.
Importance of Patent Description
During the patent examination stage, the patent description becomes more critical than the patent claims. The patent description provides essential context and detailed information about the invention, enabling patent examiners to understand its novelty and non-obviousness. By offering various embodiments, patent applicants can illustrate different aspects of their invention, which can be pivotal in addressing any objections raised during patent examination.
Flexibility in Amending Patent Claims
One significant advantage of the examination process in India is the option to amend patent claims during the patent examination phase. This flexibility allows patent applicants to respond to feedback from patent examiners effectively. By refining patent claims based on the insights gained during patent examination, inventors can enhance their patent applications' chances of approval while ensuring that their inventions are adequately protected. The combination of early examination requests, the emphasis on comprehensive patent descriptions, and the ability to amend patent claims makes the patenting process in India more efficient and adaptable for patent applicants in 2025. This strategic approach helps inventors navigate potential challenges and secure their innovations effectively.
