Consumable products such as batteries, printer cartridges, medical devices, filters, and other items use CryptoAuthentication™ to ensure authenticity and enhance product quality. Consumable products are very vulnerable to cloning and counterfeiting. Disposable products are very vulnerable to illicit trade and manufacturers have proactively taken steps to solve the problem by adding CryptoAuthentication™ devices, which ensure that only authentic consumables can be used. Authentication is being adopted by major appliance and electronics manufacturers worldwide.
