AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM FOR CONSUMER PRODUCTS

Abstract: a method for authenticating a consumer product includes coupling a near field communication (nfc) tag to a consumer product, wherein said nfc tag includes a printed representation of a unique product code (upc), coupling a physical element to the consumer product wherein the physical element includes a visible printed representation of the upc, executing an application on a computing device for reading an identifier from the nfc tag, transmitting it to a server, and displaying a upc received from the server, such that a user may determine if the upc that was received matches the printed representation of the upc, and wherein the server is configured for receiving the identifier and transmitting the upc associated with the identifier in a database record.
