摘要： A system for tracking and authenticating an item includes a database for storing a plurality of digital files each corresponding to a physical item. Each digital file includes information for a machine-readable code, a forensic element, and parameters for time, date, and location for the physical item. The system includes a scanner for scanning the machine-readable code of an item presented for verification, and an analyzer for analyzing the forensic element of the item presented for verification. A controller is in communication with the database, the scanner, and the analyzer. The controller has software to receive the machine-readable code from the scanner to retrieve an item identity from the database, receive the forensic element from the analyzer to authenticate the item presented for verification, and receive tracking data when the physical item is analyzed or scanned to verify the tracking data using the database.
