Abstract

The issues of data protection, their verification, authentication, ways to achieve the optimal level of protection of material and information units - throughout the entire time remain relevant for a person. The widespread introduction of digital technologies in most spheres of life: industry, logistics, medicine, service, etc., open up new possibilities for the detection of counterfeits. This is especially important in the production of consumer products, since counterfeit products can pose a real danger to the end customer, reputational risks to the manufacturer and tax losses to the budget. A unit of production is subject to barcode labeling with unique information, which is the key to the complete history of the unit's turnover and to its current logistic status. In the frame of domestic electronic systems, the DataMatrix matrix bar code standard is used.

In this work, research has been carried out on methods for modifying the stock structure of matrix bar codes in order to introduce security information. Examples of possible modifications of DataMatrix, results of functioning of a prototype of a software scanner are presented.
