Record
Object information and the sources behind the declared data.
COLLECTIONS · CERTIFICATES · DIGITAL IDENTITY
A physical object. A verifiable connection to its record.
A certificate describes an object. An NFC identifier helps retrieve and compare the associated record. Together they create a clear information-checking process.
THE USE CASE
What does an NFC check actually verify?
A phone reads the chip identifier and the application compares it with the certificate’s associated data. A match indicates a connection between the read identifier and its record. Missing or mismatched records require investigation.
Trust in the process also depends on data sources, identifier placement and how the connection to the object is protected. A matching chip number alone is not expert proof of authorship or a guarantee that the identifier has not been moved.
Application areas
Identifier
A readable connection between a physical tag and a certificate.
Verification
Data comparison with a clear indication of matches or discrepancies.
HOW TO START
From your need to a collaboration scope.
- 01
Prepare and check the object’s information.
- 02
Connect the certificate to an appropriate identifier.
- 03
Read NFC and compare the record in the application.
FAQ
Practical questions. Clear answers.
Does every object need NFC?
No. NFC is an optional physical connection to a record. Digitisation and certification can also cover objects without a chip.
Does a chip prevent theft?
NFC is an identification tool. A chip alone is neither an alarm nor an active theft-prevention system.
Do I need a crypto wallet?
No. Authify’s business service provides a certificate workflow without requiring the customer to have a crypto wallet.
