Preventing counterfeit e-pedigree data

Although many people may think of serialization and e-pedigree as the industry’s final checkmate in the counterfeit arms race, nothing could be further from the truth.

Counterfeiters—which are organized crime enterprises, not petty criminals—will attempt to counterfeit not only your packaging, but also your electronic pedigree data itself, along with authentication portals and websites.

GS1 is working globally and in the U.S. on the issue of product security, not only with regard to the physical product itself, but also the e-pedigree data as it flows through the supply chain.

Due to the complexity of the supply chain, GS1 uses simulation software to help expose security vulnerabilities that may exist in the supply chain, to allow new ideas to be tested to close them up, and to try to avoid creating new vulnerabilities or vectors of attack that criminals can leverage.
