MONEY BILL AUTHENTICATION AND THEFT PREVENTION SYSTEM

摘要

An authentication system is provided. The authentication system may include an object, predetermined data, an encrypted barcode, an authentication device, a computer and a database. The database may include a plurality of associations between a random unique number and an object and predetermined data thereof. The encrypted barcode may include barcode information, such as but not limited to, predetermined data and the random unique number. The barcode information may be encrypted so that only the database may decrypt. A user may use the authentication device to machine read the encrypted barcode of the object. The authentication device may remotely communicate the encrypted barcode to the database so that the database may perform process steps, including: comparing the barcode information containing a specific random unique numbers with the plurality of associations so as to identify the association having the identical specific random unique numbers; and authenticating whether the association having the identical specific random unique numbers contains identical predetermined data as the barcode information containing the specific random unique numbers. A failure of either identification and or verification may be communicated to the authentication device.
