SECURITY SCHEME FOR AUTHENTICATING DIGITAL ENTITIES AND AGGREGATE OBJECT ORIGINS

摘要

Systems and methods use an origin pattern to verify the authenticity of a collection of items or an entity offering items for sale. Example methods include receiving identifiers for items in a collection, determining the requesting entity is authorized to include the items in the collection, generating an origin pattern based on a hash of a private identifier for the requesting entity and a collection identifier, and providing the origin pattern for placement of packaging for the collection. Another example method includes generating a first digital identity origin pattern that is provided for display, receiving a verification request with a second digital identity origin pattern, and verifying that the verification requestor generated the first digital identity origin pattern, a fingerprint component of the first digital identity origin pattern matches a fingerprint component of the second digital identity origin pattern, and the verification request falls within a verification window.

1. A method of authenticating a collection of items, the method comprising:
receiving identifiers for the items to be included in the collection from a requesting entity; determining whether the requesting entity is authorized to include the items in the collection; and when the requesting entity is authorized:
generating a collection identifier for the collection,generating a serial number component of an origin pattern, the serial number component being based on a hash of a private identifier for the requesting entity and the collection identifier,generating a fingerprint component of the origin pattern by manipulating a computer-generated graphic using the hash,storing the hash, the collection identifier, and the serial number component in a data store, andproviding the origin pattern to the requesting entity, the requesting entity affixing the origin pattern to packaging for the items.
