Standard barcodes are just numbers printed on packaging. Anyone can copy them. Ratifye signs every barcode with a unique ECDSA private key at the moment of generation. When any device scans it — anywhere in the supply chain — Ratifye verifies the signature in under 80ms. A counterfeit has no key. It fails. Every time.
Each barcode is assigned a unique ECDSA P-256 private key at generation, stored in Ratifye's hardware security module. The key never leaves the HSM. A pixel-perfect counterfeit copy fails verification every time.
Consumer smartphones, Zebra and Honeywell handhelds, and fixed conveyor scanners all hit the same authentication service. Sub-80ms response time means operators never revert to visual-only checks.
An encrypted local ledger keeps authentication running without connectivity. Events sync automatically when the device reconnects. No gaps in the audit trail.
A browser-based verify flow — no app install. Scan, see authentic or fake in under 3 seconds. White-labelled with your brand's logo and colours.
Green shield. "Authentic Product — Verified as genuine." GTIN confirmed. Batch, production date, and packaging date decoded from the Data Matrix in under 80ms.
A counterfeit returns "Counterfeit Detected" in red and fires an immediate alert to your brand protection team with GPS coordinates and timestamp.
