Genuine Product Verification System using Blockchain Technology

Computer Science

Anti-counterfeit technology has attracted much attention with the development of economy. Many counterfeit products that are difficult for identification have been produced, which extremely damage the interests of consumers. The public's attitude of greedy for petty and cheap has encouraged unscrupulous manufacturers to take advantage of the opportunity to provide low-cost counterfeit products, suppress the profits of legitimate manufacturers, and also make the public lose confidence in the quality of the products. At present, the most widely used anti-counterfeiting system is based on QR codes available in the market. However, existing traceability systems are still mostly built in a centralized manner, and the central agency provides trust guarantees, but the public still has great doubts about the credibility of the central agency. The introduction of blockchain technology can perfectly solve the lack of existing architecture and the environment. To ensure the identification and traceability of real products throughout the supply chain, this project propose a fully functional blockchain system to prevent product counterfeiting. This project proposes the decentralized Blockchain system with products anti-counterfeiting, in that way manufacturers can use this system to provide genuine products without having to manage direct-operated stores. The proposed method can significantly reduce the cost of product quality assurance and validation.
