Method for identification and authentication of objects, and system for implementing the method

A method for identification and authentication of objects, comprising:

• providing a central electronic system, including a database;
• providing at least one electronic user device;
• providing one or more physical entities, each physical entity being equipped with a message reception and transmission system comprising a secure chipset storing digital identifiers and encryption keys of said physical entity;
• said at least one electronic user device interrogates said central electronic system in order to receive authentication data of one or more of said physical entities, entered in said database;
• in reply, said at least one electronic user device receives said authentication data and sends authentication request messages to said one or more physical entities;
• said at least one electronic user device receives replies to said authentication request messages from at least one of said one or more physical entities, comprising parameters and digital identifiers of said one or more physical entities and, based on said parameters, performs an acquisition of at least one video image of said one or more physical entities;
• either
• said at least one electronic user device sends said replies and said video acquisition to said central electronic system;
• said central electronic system extracts from said replies a digital identity of said at least one or more physical entities and, based on encryption keys contained in said database, authenticates a digital identity of said at least one or more physical entities, and performs a visual recognition of said video acquisition by using fingerprinting (FR) and/or artificial intelligence (AI) techniques;
• said central electronic system compares said visual recognition with data about said visual recognition contained in said database, comprising said authentication data;
• if the comparison is successful, then said central electronic system will identify and authenticate each one of said at least one or more physical entities;
• or
• said at least one electronic user device extracts from said replies a digital identity of said at least one or more physical entities and, based on encryption keys included in said authentication data received from the central electronic system, authenticates a digital identity of said at least one or more physical entities, and performs a visual recognition of said video acquisition by using fingerprinting (FR) and/or artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, and compares said visual recognition with data about said visual recognition received from the central electronic system;
• if the comparison is successful, then said at least one electronic user device will identify and authenticate each one of said at least one or more physical entities.
