VERIFICATION OF PHYSICAL ENCRYPTION TAGGANTS UNING DIGITAL REPRESENTATIVES AND AUTHENTICATIONS THEREOF

摘要

A verifiably identifiable object that includes a primary taggant encoding a readable encrypted first identifier of the object encrypted by a first method and a secondary taggant encoding a readable encrypted second identifier of the object optionally encrypted by a second method. The primary taggant can be a physical identification taggant, such as DNA including an authentication sequence, and the secondary taggant can be a digital identification taggant. The digital identification taggant encodes information validating the physical identification taggant, such as by referencing information embodied in the physical taggant, e.g. the defined sequence within the DNA. Also included is a method and system for identification and/or authentication of an object that includes a primary taggant encoding a readable encrypted first identifier of the object encrypted by a first method and a secondary taggant encoding a readable encrypted second identifier of the object encrypted by a second method.
