Abstract

Disclosed is a method for protecting the authenticity of an article from imitation and counterfeit. In a packaging process, a container label is attached to a product. The container label is encoded by an encryption algorithm and includes a nation bill with a serial number, which is an authentication code, shown on the outer surface of the label, and the authentication code is decrypted by an encryption key. The authentication code is indicated as the type of information of letters and numbers or the type of a two-dimensional quick response (QR) barcode. At least one authentication code may be shown on the outer surface of the label. The purpose of the present invention is to increase reliability and simplify a process of checking the authenticity of an item.

Description

METHODS FOR PROTECTING THE ACCURACY OF THE PRODUCT FROM IMMEDIATE AND FORMULA

The present invention relates to a method for protecting a product from counterfeiting, that is, a method for identifying a counterfeit, and also to protect the goods manufactured by the manufacturers and to protect the goods manufactured by illegal manufacturers (counterfeit goods) Lt; / RTI > may be used by the manufacturers to avoid purchasing.

At present, methods for protecting the authenticity of an article from counterfeiting are known. A method for identifying forgery (Russian patent 2,202,122 C2) has the technical effect of increasing the level of protection from product imitation due to the use of any internal structural pattern of carrier material, such as identification tags. The proposed invention encourages the selection of a material with a unique arbitrary structure design as the label and also to select an arbitrary design of the label as identification information, which is read by the scanner and then stored in the database of the computer identification system. Consumers can receive correspondence information related to structural patterns by telephone, fax or the Internet, thereby identifying the authenticity or counterfeit type of the product.

The disadvantages of this method are as follows.

- it is difficult or impossible to simplify the process of verifying forgery identification;

- Low accuracy and low reliability of comparison procedure results

A method for protecting goods from counterfeiting (Russian Patent 2,285,954 C1) is established by comparing the digitized image of the identifier with the three-dimensional physical body with the authenticity of the goods with the provision of the goods, In addition to the digitized image, randomly distributed optical image elements.

A particular feature is assigned to each identifier, for example a registration number that is used to accurately determine which digital image from a plurality of digital images stored in an electronic database needs to be compared to a digital image of an identifier to be verified.

The authenticity of a good is established by specific organizational interventions confirming the rights of the manufacturer and confirming the authenticity of the information provided to the consumer.

A digital image of an identifier used for comparison with an image stored in a database is obtained with the aid of a device in which a digital image acquisition function and data reception / transmission are combined at a remote location, to be.

- If the digitized code is copied on the identifier and the image of the original identifier is attached, the verification will ensure that the digitized code is present in the database and that the image of the identifier corresponds to the original, Relatively low level;

Difficulties associated with database processing and maintenance of scanned copies of samples that will increase steadily with processing time;

- Product verification is not possible when there is no connection to the database.

It is an object of the present invention to increase the level of reliability and simplify the authenticity verification process of the product.

In order to achieve the above object, the method is proposed to protect the authenticity of the product from imitation and counterfeiting with the following features.

During the packaging process, a container label is affixed to the product, the container label comprising national bills encrypted with the aid of an encryption algorithm and having a serial number shown on the external surface of the label as an authentication code, It is deciphered with help. The authentication code is displayed in the form of character and numerical information or in the form of a two-dimensional QR bar code, wherein one or more authentication codes can be seen on the outer surface of the label.

1. To increase the protection reliability of products from imitation and counterfeiting.

2. To simplify the authentication process of product authenticity without loss of protection quality.

3. High level of product protection from forgery is ensured by encryption protection of authentication data transmission.

4. Enabling product authenticity to be authenticated offline when there is no Internet or other form of communication connection.

5. The cost of the undamaged national currency remains unchanged after certification and is not a costly component of the manufacturer.

6. High level of product protection from counterfeiting is additionally ensured by national protection of national bills.

In order to protect the product from imitation and counterfeiting, using a cryptographic algorithm with a public key according to the asymmetric cryptographic method, a private key and a public key are generated. For each serial number of national bills, an encrypted authentication code is generated with the aid of a private key using the encryption algorithm described above. The bill is wrapped in a container label, and the authorization code is displayed on the outside of the container label in the form of a corresponding serial number, that is, in the form of letters and numbers or in the form of a two-dimensional QR bar code. The container label is affixed to the product such that the container label is not illegally used without destroying the container label, the product packaging and the integrity of the national bills.

On the manufacturer's Web site, an opportunity will be provided to manually enter and decrypt the authorization code on the label for all consumers of the product that you intend to do so, and compare this code to the serial number of the national bills. The correspondence of the result of decrypting the verification code with the serial number of the national bills from the container label will indicate authenticity of the certified product. Replacement of national bills or other such national bills with other entities will constitute the completeness of the container label and the destruction of the product counterfeit indication.

Verification of product authenticity is also performed by scanning a two-dimensional QR bar code with the aid of a discrete electronic device where the acquisition function of the digital image and the reception / transmission of the data are remotely combined; In this case, the device is a mobile phone having a built-in digital camera. In this case, on the manufacturer's web site, an authorization code is read and decoded from a two-dimensional QR barcode, and an opportunity to compare this authentication code with the serial number of the banknote is provided.

The verification process of product authenticity can be performed off-line with the help of applications (programs) for individual electronic devices that perform the process of scanning the two-dimensional QR bar code and decrypting the authentication code with the help of the public key. As part of such application (program) operation, when a forgery is confirmed, it is also possible for the consumer to send information about the case in which the forgery product is detected and to create a special service that can receive monetary compensation. In addition, the manufacturer may receive operational information relating to the seller of counterfeit goods of the manufacturer's product or the seller of the use of the counterfeit bill.

As an additional safeguard, the value of the national currency can vary with the price per unit of product; The higher the price of the product, the higher the value of the national bills, and consequently the degree of protection of the bills.
