METHOD FOR MANAGING A GLOBALLY ACCESSABLE OPERATIONAL DATA WAREHOUSE SYSTEM WITH IMPROVED SECURITY AND CONSUMER RESPONSE

摘要

A secure data exchange and access system, method, and architecture for allow web-based data transfer with improved security and scalability. The system incorporates and enables serialized pedigree systems while allowing security for storing, authenticating, and tracking a change of custody of a serialized item along a transfer chain. A plurality of independent databases, l'espectively blind to each other but for a global construct, retains pieces of information along a product supply chain. Specific encryption/decryption protocols enable secure information transfer in a number of modes including a post point of sale anti-counterfeiting system that includes a process for consumer involvement as a triggering mechanism.
