Utilising Blockchain to Fake Product Identification

Abstract

The usage of blockchain for fraudulent product detection will assist the customer in determining whether the product is genuine or not and will help the retailer gain their trust. Over the past few years, there has been a sharp growth in the creation of counterfeit items, which has reduced revenue and profit and hurt the company's reputation. The buyer of a knockoff or identical product will also be unsatisfied and run the risk of losing their safety. The decentralized, distributed ledger maintained by blockchain technology is made up of unchangeable, extremely secure blocks connected by chains. With the aid of this technology, a customer can independently confirm the legitimacy of a product. Because of recent advancements in wireless and mobile technology, Quick Response (QR) codes in this project provide a potent way to combat the practice of product counterfeiting. A QR code scanner that connects the product's QR code to a Blockchain can be used to detect counterfeit items. As a result, this method might be used to create database blocks utilising the product's distinctive codes and store the product's information. It compiles each user's unique code and checks it against Blockchain database entries how much the code matches, the consumer will be notified; otherwise, they will be alerted whether the goods is a fake.
