Abstract:
There is provided a framework to record to a blockchain unique identification (signatures) of physical items which have unique, random properties. Physical items are analysed using spectral imaging to determine the unique identifications. Hardware is shown to perform the analysis and various nodes of a peer-to-peer network are shown and described, which nodes may be configured to provide proof of location, privacy, trust and authentication. The solution can work even if the item is modified in some way if a subset of the unique properties remain.

Claim (Index 1):
A network node comprising:\n one or more processing devices; a storage device, for example, memory, coupled to the one or more processing devices and storing instructions for execution by at least some of the one or more processing devices; a communications subsystem, coupled to the one or more processing devices, to communicate with at least one or more other nodes of a peer-to-peer network; and item analysis components coupled to the one or more processing devices, the item analysis components configured to determine analysis data from measurements generated by the item analysis components; wherein the one or more processing devices operate to configure the network node to:\n analyze an instance of a physical item using the item analysis components to determine a unique signature for the instance, the unique signature determined using the analysis data for the physical item; \n determine, using the unique signature, whether the instance of the physical item is previously recorded to a blockchain maintained by the peer-to-peer network to provide item tracking and authentication services; and \n record the instance of the physical item to the blockchain in response to the determining whether the instance is previously recorded.
