Abstract:
Artwork counterfeiting is a wide problem in the art market, both for private subject and museums. In this paper an innovative system based on smartphone acquisition and mobile application is depicted to verify artwork authenticity based on random intrinsic object characteristics. This approach is based on biometry paradigm (analogue fingerprinting). The paper present a stand-alone solution, and an internet-based one, necessary for granting security verification also in case of problem with the used RFID tag. The proposed method uses an RFID Tag and a 2D barcode, in conjunction with an Internet-based Authentication Archive.
