With the Impinj Authenticity solution engine, each UHF RFID tag is assigned a unique cryptographic key that is securely stored within the tag's memory. When the tag is read by an RFID reader, the reader uses a cryptographic algorithm to authenticate the tag's identity and ensure that it has not been tampered with or counterfeited.
This technology can be useful in a variety of applications, such as verifying the authenticity of luxury goods or high-value assets, preventing counterfeiting and fraud, and ensuring supply chain integrity. By providing a secure and reliable means of verifying the authenticity of UHF RFID tagged items, the Impinj Authenticity solution engine helps to increase trust and transparency throughout the supply chain.
How does Impinj M775 tag IC chips works with Impinj cryptographic authenticity RAIN UHF RFID to verify UHF RFID tagged labelled items and used in the supply chain
The Impinj M775 tag IC chip is a specific type of UHF RFID chip designed by Impinj, a leading provider of RFID solutions. The M775 chip includes built-in cryptographic capabilities that can be used in conjunction with Impinj's cryptographic authenticity solution to verify UHF RFID tagged items in the supply chain.
Here's a high-level overview of how the Impinj M775 tag IC chip works with Impinj's cryptographic authenticity solution:
Tag Encoding: UHF RFID tags, including those using the Impinj M775 chip, are encoded with unique information, such as a serial number or product identifier, during the manufacturing process.
Cryptographic Key Generation: Impinj's cryptographic authenticity solution generates a unique cryptographic key that is securely stored within the memory of the Impinj M775 chip. This cryptographic key serves as a digital signature for the tag, allowing its authenticity to be verified later in the supply chain.
Tagging and Labeling: The UHF RFID tags, including those with the Impinj M775 chip, are attached to items or labels in the supply chain, such as product packaging, pallets, or containers.
RFID Tag Reading: RFID readers are used at various points in the supply chain to read the information stored on the UHF RFID tags, including the unique serial number or product identifier.
Cryptographic Authentication: When a tagged item is read by an RFID reader equipped with Impinj's cryptographic authenticity solution, the reader uses the cryptographic key stored in the Impinj M775 chip to verify the authenticity of the tag. This involves performing cryptographic calculations using the key and the information stored on the tag, and comparing the results with the expected values.
Authenticity Verification: Based on the results of the cryptographic calculations, the RFID reader can determine whether the tag is authentic or not. If the cryptographic authentication is successful, the tagged item is considered genuine and can proceed further in the supply chain. If the authentication fails, it may indicate that the tag has been tampered with, counterfeited, or otherwise compromised.
Supply Chain Integrity: By verifying the authenticity of UHF RFID tagged items using Impinj's cryptographic authenticity solution, the supply chain stakeholders can have increased confidence in the integrity of their inventory, reduce the risk of counterfeit products entering the supply chain, and improve overall supply chain security.
The Impinj M775 tag IC chip, in combination with Impinj's cryptographic authenticity solution, enables secure and reliable verification of UHF RFID tagged items in the supply chain, helping to ensure their authenticity and integrity.
