DEVICES AND METHODS FOR AUTHENTICATING PROPERTIES OF PHYSICAL OBJECTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240323012 titled 'DEVICES AND METHODS FOR AUTHENTICATING PROPERTIES OF PHYSICAL OBJECTS
The abstract describes systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for the management of physical object authentication.
- An authentication device is coupled to a physical object and includes an antenna, a processor, a secure enclave with a private key uniquely associated with the physical object via a public key stored in a blockchain, and memory with instructions for authentication processes.
- The processor receives signals with a challenge element, identifies it as a verification request, signs the challenge element with the private key to create a verification token, and transmits the token via the antenna for authentication using the public key in the blockchain.
Potential Applications: - Supply chain management - Anti-counterfeiting measures - Asset tracking and verification
Problems Solved: - Ensuring the authenticity of physical objects - Preventing counterfeiting and fraud - Securing supply chains
Benefits: - Enhanced security and trust in physical object authentication - Streamlined verification processes - Improved transparency in supply chains
Commercial Applications: Title: "Blockchain-Based Physical Object Authentication System for Enhanced Security" This technology can be utilized in industries such as pharmaceuticals, luxury goods, and electronics to verify the authenticity of products and prevent counterfeiting.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior art related to blockchain-based authentication systems, secure enclaves, and supply chain management technologies to understand the evolution of this innovation.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in blockchain technology, secure enclave development, and supply chain security measures to enhance the effectiveness of physical object authentication systems.
Questions about Physical Object Authentication: 1. How does blockchain technology enhance the security of physical object authentication? Blockchain technology ensures data integrity and immutability, making it ideal for securely storing public keys for authentication purposes. 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing a physical object authentication system using blockchain technology? Challenges may include scalability issues, interoperability with existing systems, and ensuring the privacy and security of sensitive data.
Original Abstract Submitted
systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for management of physical object authentication are described. for example, a system may include a physical object and an authentication device coupled to the physical object. the authentication device may include an antenna, a processor, a secure enclave comprising a private key uniquely associated with the physical object via a public key stored in a blockchain; and memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive signals comprising a challenge element via the antenna, identify the challenge element as corresponding to a verification request, sign the challenge element with the private key to produce a verification token for authentication of the physical object, transmit signals comprising the verification token via the antennae, wherein the verification token enables authentication of the physical object via the public key stored in the blockchain. other embodiments are described.
