Vision and Challenges for Realising the Internet of Things

In the emerging Internet of Things, it is easy and cheap to make information available about virtually all physical objects as this information can be automatically created, distributed, and processed with the help of automatic identification systems. Thus, virtual counterparts of physical objects are being created, which provides links to services around these objects. Together with specialized technologies for the detection of physical tampering, software-supported systems for product authentication become universally available. This is a critical component to protect consumers, distribution channels, and markets against counterfeit products. We demonstrate how a prototypical system for product authentication can be integrated to existing business processes and be applied in various fields.
