Systems and methods for generating and tracking molecular digital signatures to ensure authenticity and integrity of NA molecules are disclosed. In some embodiments, a NA authentication system includes a NA authentication device coupled to one or more user devices. Methods for generating a signed NA sequence, validating a signed NA sequence, and detecting/correcting potential errors within a user allowable limit using a NA authentication system are disclosed. Methods for associating a signed NA sequence with a digital representation of the NA sequence, using a NA authentication system, are disclosed.
