Fake Product Identification Using Blockchains

Computer Engineering

Counterfeit goods have been a significant factor in the manufacturing of goods in recent years. This has an impact on a company’s brand, revenue, and profitability. With blockchain technology, real-product identification and fake-product detection are possible. Blockchain technology is a distributed, decentral- ized, and digital ledger that keeps track of transactions in a number of databases that are linked together through chains. As blockchain technology is secure, no block can be altered or compromised. Customers or consumers can certify the safety of a product without relying on a third party by using blockchain technology. In this study, Quick Response (QR) codes are used as a powerful approach to combat the practice of product counterfeit blockchain. QR codes are rising trends in wireless and mobile technologies. By linking a product’s QR code to a blockchain, a QR code scanner can identify counterfeit goods. In order to record product information and its produced unique code as database blocks, this system may be employed. It obtains the customer’s unique code, then checks it against entries in the blockchain database. If the code matches, the customer will receive notified; if not, the consumer will be informed that the product is a fake.
