ch Article System for Identifying Fake Products Using Blockchain Technology

Abstract

The proliferation of counterfeit products in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, electronics, and luxury goods, poses a significant threat to consumer safety, brand reputation, and economic integrity. Traditional verification methods often fail due to centralized control and limited traceability. This research proposes a block chain-based system to identify fake products by leveraging the decentralized, immutable, and transparent nature of block chain technology. The system records product information such as manufacturing details, origin, and ownership history on a distributed ledger, ensuring secure and tamper-proof tracking across the supply chain. Each product is tagged with a unique QR code that links to its block chain record, allowing end-users to verify authenticity through a mobile application. The system incorporates distinct login modules for administrators, sellers, and customers to ensure secure interactions and streamline product management. Simulation results validate the system’s capability to detect counterfeit products with high accuracy and real-time verification speed. The proposed solution provides a scalable and efficient framework for enhancing supply chain integrity and protecting consumers against fake goods
