Security scheme for authenticating object origins

Abstract

Systems and methods for time and location based authentication of a number associated with an object. An example method includes receiving a verification request from a requestor that includes a time-location stamp and a number obtained from the object and verifying that the number exists in a data store of numbers generated for objects by a product owner. The method also includes determining whether the time-location stamp is outside a constraint set by the product owner. Responsive to the time-location stamp being outside the constraint the authentication probability is set to a value indicating inauthenticity. Responsive to the time-location stamp being within the constraint, the method includes calculating an authenticity probability based on a velocity determined using the time-location stamp and storing the authenticity probability with the time-location stamp in the data store. The method may also include providing the authenticity probability to the requestor.
