Doing that can get complex. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Product authentication solutions built on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/impinj\">Impinj<\/a> platform employ secure cryptography, using a challenge-response protocol to determine with a high degree of certainty whether an item is genuine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>RAIN RFID from Impinj<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An item tagged with RAIN RFID has certain information associated with it\u00e2\u20ac\u201ddata such as the manufacturer name, model number, serial number, date of manufacture, purchase date, customer name, and more. That item-specific data can be stored in a product cloud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When that item is read at any point in the supply chain by a RAIN RFID reader, an Impinj-based authentication solution cross-checks and confirms the information stored in the product cloud and verifies the tag\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s authenticity using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.impinj.com\/products\/software\/impinj-authentication-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Impinj Authentication Service<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/BCI-Impinj-RAIN-RFID-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"624\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/BCI-Impinj-RAIN-RFID-1.png\" alt=\"BCI Impinj RAIN RFID 1\" class=\"wp-image-26800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/BCI-Impinj-RAIN-RFID-1.png 624w, https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/BCI-Impinj-RAIN-RFID-1-300x128.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Impinj Authenticity uses cryptographic authentication, a feature of the new RFID tag chips, to swiftly and automatically verify tagged products as genuine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Implement RAIN RFID with a Trusted Partner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For an in-depth explanation of how Impinj Authenticity works, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/support\/contactinfo.htm\">contact Barcodes, Inc. to learn more about RAIN RFID<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-constrained wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/support\/contactinfo.htm\" style=\"background-color:#f78f1e\">Contact Us<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The problem of counterfeit products is global, and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s growing.
