Efficient, Scalable and Post-Quantum Authentication for Real-time Next Generation Networks with Probabilistic Data Structures

Tech ID: 24T240

Advantages:

  • 4x to 6x faster key generation and up to 5x faster signature verification than existing methods
  • Works on low-power devices like drones, smartwatches, and medical implants
  • Post-quantum secure and designed for real-time communication needs
  • Scales easily across large systems with many devices and users

Summary:

Modern wireless systems like those in drones, vehicles, or medical devices need fast and secure message authentication. But current digital signature methods are either too slow or require too much power. And with quantum computing on the horizon, many of these systems may soon be at risk of being hacked.

This invention introduces TVPD-HORS, a new signature system that delivers both speed and post-quantum security. It uses a lightweight data structure called a One-Hash Bloom Filter to reduce computing time. Compared to older methods, this approach cuts verification time by 3–5x and generates keys 4–6x faster. It works across a wide range of devices and adapts easily to real-time systems like smart grids, vehicular networks, and IoT devices, even under high-security demands.

This image shows how the TVPD-HORS signature system works in real-time networks. It highlights how messages are securely signed, verified, and protected even against quantum threats while remaining fast and scalable for connected devices.
