Cortegra, a leading provider of product security solutions offers a revolutionary brand authentication technology that delivers an anti-counterfeiting solution based on the unique natural microstructures of the package itself. We call this technology Biometric Authentication …the industry is calling it a “breakthrough.” 

This camera-based technology captures the information embedded in the structure of your package and transforms it into a digital signature using a proprietary software solution.  This “digital signature” is based on the random characteristics of the structure and cannot be easily duplicated. In fact, it is more unique than a fingerprint with only 1 in 1027 having identical configurations.  Currently used in high security markets, such as secured documents, currency, and high-end cosmetics, this patented technology has no known method of counterfeiting and can be utilized at multiple entry points in the supply chain.
