The physical construction of the surface of a product (surface can be made of glass, metal, plastic, paper, carton) is captured and turned into a unique digital code: a signature. The code can be carried by the product itself in the form of a Datamatrix, a barcode, or a RFID, which would make the authentication of the product possible without a database (the signature would need to match the Datamatrix or barcode etc…). The signature is also stored in a database with the product metadata, the signature captured can be used as the metadata decryption key. A specific reader is used to read the signature.
