An IoT-Based Traceable Drug Anti-Counterfeiting Management System

With the rapid development of the social economy, our lives are flooded with all kinds of counterfeit products. The public's attitude of greedy for petty and cheap has encouraged unscrupulous manufacturers to take advantage of the opportunity to provide low-cost counterfeit products, suppress the profits of legitimate manufacturers, and also make the public lose confidence in the quality of the products. At present, the most widely used anti-counterfeiting system based on QR codes on the market. However, existing traceability systems are still mostly built in a centralized manner, and the central agency provides trust guarantees, but the public still has great doubts about the credibility of the central agency. The introduction of blockchain technology can perfectly solve the lack of existing architecture and the environment. In this research, we propose an IoT-based traceable drug anti-counterfeiting management system, a comprehensive plan from drug research and development, certification, production to sales. The framework we propose meets the requirements of information security for data integrity, resistance to replay attacks, irreversible information, and non-repudiation.
