Abstract:
1. A method for enhancing information security during item transfer, comprising the steps of: enumerating an item specific designation for a user specified item; encoding said enumerated item specific designation into a readable composite symbology encodation; deconstructing said readable composite symbology encodation into said at least first and second encoded symbology portions rendering at least one of said at least first and second portions separately unreadable without the other; applying one of said deconstructed at least first and second encoded symbology portions to said user specified item; transferring said user specified item to at least a first authorized party; transferring said other of said at least first and second encoded symbology portions to said at least first authorized party separately from said user specified item; and reconstructing said at least first and second encoded symbology portions and into said readable composite symbology encodation, thereby enabling said authorized party to conduct a step of reading said composite symbology encodation and determining said item specific designation.
