Product authentication is the process of verifying or guaranteeing that a product or its consumable is either genuine or permitted to access a particular application. Product authentication protects against counterfeits, substitutes, and generics (CSG) and also provides the manufacturer with additional control over the customer experience, ensuring that it meets or exceeds expectations.

With RFID, a tag can be added to a product or consumable and then encoded with a "digital fingerprint," using state-of-the-art cryptography that uniquely identifies the item from a CSG. This paper explains why, with recent economies of scale and breakthroughs in security, RFID presents the most adaptable and robust answer to CSGs.
