TrusCodes uses cryptographically secured QR codes—but security is not only about cryptography. Trust becomes enforceable only when cryptography is combined with tamper-evident physical controls, backend lifecycle enforcement, and audit-ready records.
A QR code can be cryptographically genuine and still be copied, screenshotted, shared, or placed on counterfeit packaging.
TrusCodes solves this by combining four enforceable controls:
Verification, not redirection.
| Verification model | When to use | What it prevents | Modules |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-Use (Consumptive) Authentication | Claims / entitlements must not be transferable. | Screenshots, copying, reuse, transfer to counterfeits. | BrandShield, CertiSure, LabAssured, GeoGuard, Engage |
| Persistent Identity with Lifecycle Control | Traceability requires multi-event identity. | Fabricated history, out-of-sequence events, unauthorized updates. | TracePro |
TrusCodes verification works by generating secure identities, physically anchoring them, enforcing lifecycle rules, and recording evidence.
Tamper evidence makes digital proof physically meaningful. Without it, labels can be moved from genuine goods to counterfeit goods.
TrusCodes security is not just “random codes.” It is cryptographic identity plus validation, lifecycle rules, and evidence.
TrusCodes supports standards-conscious deployments where serialization and traceability are required, including GS1-aligned identity and encoding patterns when used in the operating model.
