Abstract
A graphically represented, machine-readable code having a first abstract part and a second part comprises a contrived code having pre-associated data, wherein the first and second parts are associated electronically in a storage medium, such that the association is verifiable by a machine reading the code by reference to the storage medium, in order to authenticate the second part.
Claims21
A graphically represented, machine-readable code having a first abstract part and a second part comprising a contrived code having pre-associated data,
- wherein the first and second parts are associated electronically in a storage medium, such that the association is verifiable by a machine reading the code by reference to the storage medium, in order to authenticate the second part.
A method of securing a two-part code comprising a first abstract part and a second part comprising a contrived code having pre-associated data, comprising the steps of:
- reading the first code part;
- reading the second code part;
- and,
- associating the first and second code parts on a storage means.
An apparatus for securing a two-part code comprising a first abstract part and a second part comprising a contrived code having pre-associated data, comprising:
- a reader for reading the first code part;
- a reader for reading the second code part;
- a storage means;
- and,
- an assignment unit for associating the first and second code parts on the storage means.
A method of authenticating a two-part code comprising a first abstract part and a second part comprising a contrived code having pre-associated data, comprising the steps of:
- reading the first code part;
- reading the second code part;
- and,
- checking if the first and second code parts are associated on a storage means.
An apparatus for authenticating a two-part code comprising a first abstract part and a second part comprising a contrived code having pre-associated data, comprising:
- a reader for reading the first code part;
- a reader for reading the second code part;
- a storage means;
- and,
- an authentication unit for checking if the first and second code parts are associated on the storage means.
