Combined data retrieval and tamper-evident security system

A method for securing a package using at-least two interlinked codes in security label, the method comprising:

• providing a first layer comprising a first code on exposed face and a second code hidden under the first layer;
• engaging the first layer to the package such that the first code is exposed, and the second code remains concealed under the first layer;
• enabling access to the second code by physical disengagement of the first layer from the package, wherein disengagement of the first layer is irreversible such that even if same or replica of the first layer with the first code is physically re-engaged, the prior disengagement is detected in an automated scan;
• scanning the first code to retrieve first information;
• and
• scanning the second code, upon disengagement of the first layer, to retrieve second information associated with the package, wherein:
• the first code and the second code are configured to be scanned respectively for authentication and additional services;
• scan of the first code and the second code is digitally interlinked;
• the second code is accessible and scannable only after the first layer has been disengaged, thereby preventing re-engagement of the first layer in a manner that conceals the initial disengagement;
• and
• the first code is digitally invalidated in a database upon the scanning of the second code.

A method for securing a package using at-least two interlinked codes in a security label, the method comprising:

• providing a first layer with a first portion, wherein:
• the first portion is provided with a first code;
• the first code on the first portion is visible to a user, wherein the first code is configured to be scanned multiple times for authentication;
• and
• a second code is disposed under the first layer;
• engaging the first layer to the package such that the first code is exposed, and the second code remains concealed under the first layer;
• scanning at least the first portion of the first layer to register a first spatial orientation;
• enabling access to the second code by physical disengagement of the first portion of the first layer from the package, wherein disengagement of the first portion is irreversible such that even if same or replica of the first layer is physically re-engaged, the prior disengagement gets detected in an automated scan;
• scanning the first code to retrieve first information;
• and
• scanning the second code, upon disengagement of the first portion of the first layer, to retrieve second information associated with the package, wherein:
• the first code and the second code are configured to be scanned respectively for authentication and additional services;
• the first spatial orientation is altered upon disengagement and re-engagement of the first portion, wherein tampering is indicated in an automated scan due to change in spatial orientation;
• disengagement of the first portion reveals the second code digitally interlinked with first code;
• and
• the first code is digitally invalidated in a database upon the scanning of the second code.
