SkyeTek's RFID Anti-Counterfeiting Solution
Counterfeiting is one of the most significant sources of loss in many industries including the pharmaceuticals, entertainment, consumer electronics, medical devices, retail, and IT sectors. In phramaceuticals and medical devices, moreover, counterfeit items can lead to injury and, in some cases, fatality.
SkyeTek's RFID reader technology can be used to authenticate hundreds of items including:
- Blood units
- Collectible items
- Consumer packaged goods
- Compact discs and DVDs
- Industrial filters
- Intravenous devices
- Medical device disposables
- Pharmaceuticals
- Printer ink and toner
SkyeTek's Advanced Universal Reader Architecture (AURA) is the foundation that allows each SkyeModule to provide industry-leading tag support and read range / reliability at the highest levels of cost- / space- / power-efficiency. The M2 and M9 SkyeModules incoporate state-of-the art encryption and digital signature technology - the same algorithms used in the DoD, financial services and the Internet - offering the highest levels of anti-counterfeiting available in the RFID industry today. SkyeTek's method of implementing security is also based on open standards allowing customers to secure any generic tag with extended memory against tampering, cloning, or theft at a 60 to 70 percent cost-savings versus tags that employ proprietary methods of security.
