Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a system and method to verifying authenticity of product(s).

  • these barcodes relate to a unique identification code that, apart from being present in an encrypted format as the barcode on the manufactured product, is also stored in a secured repository/database of the manufacturer. Authenticity of the barcode can be directly verified by the consumer, stock holder, distributor, retailer, and even the manufacturer with the help of a barcode scanning application in their mobile phones and/or any other applicable barcode reader. Encrypted barcode information read by the barcode scanning application can identify the unique identification code and send the code to the manufacturer's database, wherein verification is then done to check whether the same unique identification code is present in the database. In case the unique identification code is present, an authentication confirmation is issued to the stakeholder that is verifying the authentication of the product.
