Try Live Product Verification
Experience exactly what a consumer sees when they scan an Authentific-protected product. Instant cryptographic verdict, full product details, and scan event record — no app required, no login, no friction.
High-Risk Product Scenario: Infant Formula Verification
Infant formula is a high-risk product category when authenticity, storage conditions, or distribution integrity are compromised. Unlike most consumer goods, the consequences of an adulterated or improperly stored product are immediate and serious. Authentific-protected packaging gives caregivers and retailers a reliable, single-step way to confirm a product is genuine before it is used.
Counterfeit and Adulteration Risk
Counterfeit infant formula can contain incorrect ingredient ratios, undeclared allergens, or substituted fillers that are unsuitable for infant consumption. Standard visual inspection of packaging offers no reliable protection against sophisticated reproductions.
Grey-Market and Diversion Exposure
Products imported through unauthorized channels may have been stored outside required temperature or humidity conditions. Diverted stock bypasses the quality checks applied within licensed distribution networks — and carries no manufacturer traceability.
Absence of Batch Traceability
In the event of a recall, grey-market products cannot be reliably traced back to a specific batch, facility, or date of manufacture. Without a verified chain of custody, affected units may remain in circulation after a recall notice has been issued.
Verified before use. Traceable from manufacture.
A caregiver purchasing infant formula — in-store or via an online marketplace — can scan the product's QR code in under a second to receive a confirmed authenticity verdict, manufacturing origin, and batch record. No app. No account. No friction.
The same scan event is simultaneously logged to the brand's operations dashboard, contributing to the product's chain-of-custody record and flagging any anomalies — such as a code being scanned in a territory for which it was not authorized — in real time.

✓
Instant verification before use Any smartphone camera resolves the scan in under 80ms. The result is unambiguous: genuine and authorized, or flagged for review.
-
✓
Manufacturing origin and batch confirmation The scan result surfaces the production facility, batch ID, and manufacturing date — the same data needed to cross-reference an active recall notice.
-
✓
Detection of tampering and unauthorized distribution Cryptographic signature validation detects tampered or cloned codes. Territory checks flag products outside their authorized distribution region at the moment of scan.
-
✓
Audit-ready recall traceability Every unit carries a verifiable identity from the production line to the point of consumer scan. If a batch is recalled, affected units can be located and owners notified using scan event data.

Every scan returns a complete product identity record.
The verification result page is fully branded per product line and market. Here is what the three core panels communicate to any consumer or supply chain operator who scans an Authentific-protected unit.
Authenticity Verdict
A clear, immediate result — Authentic or Suspect — displayed before any other content. No ambiguity. The verdict is derived entirely from cryptographic signature validation, not a database lookup that can be faked by copying a URL.
Product Identity & Provenance
Product name, SKU, batch ID, manufacturing facility, country of origin, and authorized territory — all tied to the specific unit scanned. Brands can configure which fields are surfaced per product line and market.
Scan Event Record
Each scan is logged as a timestamped event: first or repeat verification, geographic location, device type, and API response time. This data builds the supply chain audit trail and surfaces clone-scan patterns in real time.
What happens in those 47 milliseconds.
When a consumer scans an Authentific QR code, four operations complete before the result renders — across our global edge network.
Camera reads QR
Any native iOS or Android camera app resolves the scan without an app download. The QR payload is a signed URL — no plain serial number that can be copied.
Edge API receives request
The request hits the nearest Authentific edge node — typically within 10ms of the device. The payload is parsed and the embedded cryptographic signature extracted.
Signature validated
The signature is verified against the public key stored in the Authentific HSM infrastructure. A match confirms the code is genuine. Any mismatch — including a cloned code — triggers an immediate alert.
Result rendered
The branded verification page loads with the verdict, product record, and scan event data. The scan is logged to the brand's analytics dashboard. The entire flow completes in under 80ms.
Every consumer scan feeds your operations dashboard.
While the consumer sees an authenticity result, your operations team sees a live scan event — timestamped, geolocated, and logged against the unit's chain-of-custody record. Aggregated scan data reveals diversion patterns, clone activity, and market performance in real time.
Explore Platform ApplicationsReal-time scan events
Every scan appears in your dashboard within 200ms. Filter by product, territory, batch, date range, or scan result type.
Clone and counterfeit alerts
Duplicate scans of the same serial ID from different locations trigger automatic alerts. Pattern analysis distinguishes genuine repeat scans from active cloning operations.
Territory diversion detection
Scans from outside a product's authorized territory are flagged and logged. Geo-boundary rules are configurable per SKU, batch, or distributor contract.
Compliance-ready audit trail
Scan event records are structured as GS1 EPCIS events. Export directly to DSCSA T3 or EU FMD submission formats — no reformatting required.
