<p>The invention is an information security method for deterring counterfeiting of articles (24), with article references (26), certificates (28), certificate references (30), and storing means (38) with each article reference (26), the corresponding certificate reference (30) and a corresponding owner reference (32). The data storing means (38) also contain verifier references (42). The method includes receiving (10) an article reference (26), a certificate reference (30) and a verifier reference (42) or an owner reference (32); checking what is received; if an article reference (26), a certificate reference (30) and an owner reference (32) are received: checking (12) whether they match; and, if so, returning (14) a first authenticating signal enabling transfer registration; and if an article reference (26), a certificate reference (30) and a verifier reference (42) are received: checking (52) whether the first two references match and whether the verifier reference (26) is one of the verifier references (42); and, if so, returning (44) a second authenticating signal but preventing transfer registration.</p> |
