This miniature, tamper-resistant identification label has the potential to validate virtually anything.

MIT researchers have developed an anti-tampering ID tag that provides improved security compared to traditional radio frequency ID (RFID) tags that are commonly used for authentication. The new tag, which is smaller, cheaper, and more secure than RFIDs, uses terahertz (THz) waves for authentication. However, like traditional RFIDs, it faced a vulnerability where counterfeiters could…

This small, secure identification label has the ability to verify almost anything.

The ability to confirm the authenticity of products has become a paramount need in our world today, especially with the rise of counterfeiting. The most common method often used is radio frequency tags or RFIDs, which confirms the authenticity of a product but at a size and cost disadvantage. However, a new research by the…

This small, secure ID label has the capability to validate nearly everything.

MIT researchers have advanced their previously developed cryptographic ID tag that uses terahertz waves instead of radio frequency (RFID) technology, to bolster its security and undermine counterfeiting efforts. The initial model of their tag had a major flaw in that it could be peeled off a genuine item and reattached to a counterfeit, thereby tricking…

This small, secure identification label can verify nearly everything.

Researchers at MIT have created a cryptographic ID tag that offers improved security over traditional radio frequency (RFID) tags. This enhanced tag incorporates the use of terahertz waves and unique glue patterns to authenticate products and prevent counterfeiting. It’s smaller in size, cheaper to produce, and more secure than traditional RFIDs. The ID tag could…

This small, secure identification marker can validate nearly everything.

Researchers at MIT have developed a new ID tag that leverages terahertz waves to offer a superior level of security compared to the traditional radio frequency tags (RFIDs), and at a significantly cheaper cost. This breakthrough was achieved by incorporating microscopic metal particles into the adhesive that binds the tag to a product. The terahertz…

This small, secure identification label can verify nearly anything.

MIT researchers have created a microscopic, low-cost cryptographic ID tag, designed to protect products from counterfeiting by providing improved security compared to traditional radio frequency tags (RFIDs). The technology, developed using terahertz waves, can offer a highly secure, low-cost, and easy-to-implement solution in preventing tampering and ensuring product authenticity. RFID tags typically use radio waves to…

This small, secure identification label has the ability to verify nearly everything.

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a small, low-cost cryptographic ID tag that improves the security of product authentication. The new design mitigates a common security issue where counterfeiters could transfer an ID tag from an authentic product to a fake one, deceiving authentication systems. This ID tag uses terahertz waves and…

This small, secure identification marker holds the capacity to verify nearly everything.

Researchers from MIT have developed a cryptographic ID tag that's considerably smaller, more secure, and cost-effective than traditional radio frequency tags (RFIDs) regularly used in product authenticity verification. These ID tags use terahertz waves, which are smaller and have higher frequencies than radio waves, thus being more compact and secure. An issue with traditional RFIDs is…

This small, secure ID label can verify nearly everything.

A few years ago, MIT researchers created an innovative cryptographic ID tag several times smaller and much cheaper than traditional RFIDs (radio frequency tags) commonly used to authenticate products. Despite the significant improvements in size, cost, and security this new ID tag brought, it shared a major security vulnerability with RFIDs, where a counterfeiter could…

This small, secure ID label has the capability to verify nearly everything.

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed an antitampering ID tag that uses terahertz waves to make products almost impossible to counterfeit. The tag uses microscopic metal particles mixed with the glue that attaches the tag to a product. The terahertz waves can detect the unique pattern created by the metal particles,…
