Definitions
- Various embodiments relate to a system and method for authenticating individual information.
- drinks in disposable packaging may be covered by the deposit system.
- a bottler i. A company that bottles drinks in containers, such as a returnable bottle, can sell a drink plus a deposit to a dealer. At the dealer, for example, in a supermarket, then a consumer can buy the drink plus the pledge. After the purchase and consumption of the beverage, the consumer may return the empties to the merchant by using a reverse vending machine set up at the merchant to repeat the deposit made by the merchant, the repatriate, upon purchase of the beverage. The merchant who has credited the consumer with the pledge amount can reclaim from the bottler the fees for the pledge.
- containers are verified with a manual or automated (reverse vending solutions, RVS) empties return.
- RVS reverse vending solutions
- a container is verified as valid, it will be destroyed and a monetary record will be created for billing with the taker to the bottler.
- the verification of the monetary record or audit is performed by an external service provider by transmitting said record to the service provider, receiving the record by the service provider, verifying the security property contained in the record, and through a successful authentication or unsuccessful one Authentication decides.
- the external authentication process can use the security property to confirm the authenticity of the record.
- a generated data record is usually signed or backed up using cryptographic techniques.
- the cryptographic encryption can be realized, for example, by means of a public key for encrypting and a private key for decrypting at least one data record. Consequently, the authenticity of the data set essentially depends on the level of cryptographic techniques.
- the entire deposit system may be compromised.
- the cryptographic technique is compromised, it is comparatively trivial to falsify a classical data set due to the low entropy, that is, the density of information.
- the cryptographic records for packages of the same type are identical. Only the time can be incorporated as a variable value in the cryptographic record.
- the time may, for example, be the time at which one or more containers, for example one or more empty bottles, are / is introduced into an empties return system.
- the respective container With each container introduced into a conventional empties return system, the respective container can be assigned to its collection, for example, a European Article Number (EAN) or read an EAN from a surface of the container, for example from a label.
- EAN European Article Number
- EAN European Article Number
- the signed record can be transmitted to a service provider, in which a decrypting of the signed record, for example by means of the public key, and in which an authentication of the encrypted record can take place ,
- a record can be generated by determining the time at which an empties are allegedly taken back. If, for example, the private key for signing the data record is known, it can also be used to sign a data record which is then decrypted on the service provider side with a public key and recorded as the correct data record on the outside. The externally correctly signed data package is classified as valid on the service provider side and a supposedly real repatriate, who is however an unauthorized person, generates a credit for the billing to the bottler.
- the system or the method may make it possible, in addition to an existing data record, to provide a further high-value feature for an authenticity of the container.
- a container-specific electronic data record (fingerprint) is generated from process data that may arise in the course of the recognition and processing of the container in the RVS.
- the container-specific or container-specific electronic data record can in turn be additionally cryptographically secured.
- the new fingerprint may be possible to integrate the new fingerprint as an additional feature in an existing deposit system.
