FaceOff Secure QR for Pharmaceutical Authentication

FaceOff makes QR codes non-breakable — protecting medicines across all manufacturers using single-use, secure, trackable product verification.

1. The Problem: Fake Medicines and Unsafe QR Codes

Fake and diverted medicines are a growing danger worldwide. Many counterfeit products now look almost identical to real ones, and the QR codes printed on medicine packs are easy to copy or reuse.

Most current QR systems are unsafe because:

• Anyone can photograph a QR code and reprint it
• The same QR can be scanned repeatedly
• Fake products can carry copied QRs from genuine boxes
• There is no way to know who scanned it or where

This means a consumer may see a “valid-looking” QR and believe the medicine is genuine — even when it is not.

2. How FaceOff Solves This

FaceOff does NOT treat QR codes like simple pictures.

FaceOff creates secured, “non-breakable” QR codes that:

# Are valid only once
# Expire automatically
# Cannot be copied or reused
# Cannot be edited or faked
# Work only through verified devices
# Are fully tracked & audited

The QR becomes a digital security lock — it works limited time (can be customized) only, then permanently closes.

3. What Is a “Non-Breakable QR”?

A FaceOff Secure QR:

• Does NOT contain medicine details or personal data
• Does NOT carry product information that can be copied
• Is simply a limited-time electronic ticket (can be customized) created by FaceOff’s secure server

Even if someone:

• Takes a photo of the QR
• Prints it again
• Sends it to others

 It will not work again.
Once used, that QR is automatically locked forever.

This makes cloning or reusing QRs impossible.

4. How Medicine Authentication Works – Simple Steps

Step 1 — QR Printed on Medicines

Each medicine pack receives a FaceOff Secure QR during manufacturing:

• QR is printed directly on:
• Strip packaging
• Bottles
• Blister packs
• Cartons

No special hardware is required — existing printing systems can be used.

Step 2 — Customer or Distributor Scans the QR

Using:

• Brand mobile app
• Distributor verification app
• Regulatory or pharmacy verification app

The QR is scanned just like a normal QR.

Step 3 — FaceOff Checks the QR

FaceOff instantly checks:

 Is this QR genuine?
 Has it already been used?
 Did it come from an approved manufacturer?
 Is it being scanned in the allowed region?

Step 4 — Result Shown on Screen

The user gets a clear, simple response:

•  Genuine Medicine – Safe to use
•  Warning – suspicious location or duplicate item
•  Fake or tampered – DO NOT USE

Step 5 — Full Record Stored

Every scan creates a secure record showing:

• Where the pack was scanned
• When it was scanned
• How many times it was scanned

This protects:

• Manufacturers
• Retailers
• Regulators
• End consumers

5. How FaceOff Works Across Different Pharmaceutical Companies

One common concern:

“If multiple companies use this system — how does FaceOff know whose medicine belongs to whom?”

FaceOff handles this very simply and securely.

 Each Pharmaceutical Company Gets Its Own Secure Identity

Every pharma manufacturer is registered separately in FaceOff, receiving:

• A unique company ID
• A secure digital signing key
• Company-specific QR series ranges

Only that company can generate QRs that belong to their brand.

No other company can:

• Produce valid QRs under their name
• Copy their QR codes
• Reuse their QR pools

 Company-Specific QR Assignment

For each product line:

• QR codes are linked to:
• Manufacturer name
• Product brand
• Batch number
• Distribution zone

When someone scans:

FaceOff looks up:

• Which company created the QR
• Which product it belongs to
• Which batch it was issued for

 Multi-Company Cross-Protection

If a counterfeit drug from Company A
uses a copied QR from Company B:

 FaceOff will detect:

• QR scanning location mismatch
• Batch inconsistency
• Product mismatch
• Serial duplication

Result:

 Medicine is flagged as counterfeit immediately.

 Regulator & Distributor Benefits

FaceOff makes it easy for:

• Drug inspectors
• Stockists
• Hospitals
• Pharmacies

to scan medicines and know:

# Which company made the drug
# Whether the QR belongs to that company
# Whether the item has been diverted or reused

6. Why This Is Called “Non-Breakable QR”

Because FaceOff QR security does not rely on secrecy of printed images.

Security comes from:

Together, these ensure:

# No QR cloning
# No QR reuse
# No QR forging
# No identity mix-ups between pharma companies

7. Deployment Model – Safe for Pharma Data

FaceOff is deployed inside the pharmaceutical company’s own data center:

• No cloud dependency
• No shared storage
• Data never leaves company control

Each pharma company:

• Owns its own QR database
• Controls its own distribution analytics
• Maintains regulatory independence

8. One-Time Setup

Includes:

• On-premise installation
• ERP integration
• QR workflow configuration
• Security audit & testing

9. Why Pharma Companies Prefer FaceOff

 . Stops counterfeit medicines
 . Protects brand trust
 . Supports regulatory inspections
 . Maps supply diversion instantly
 . Enables targeted drug recalls
 . Builds consumer confidence
 . No hardware changes required
 . Works across any number of manufacturers

Finally, FaceOff transforms QR codes from simple printed pictures into a powerful digital security lock.

Each QR:

• Can be used only once
• Belongs to a single manufacturer
• Is verified online instantly
• Cannot be copied, forged, or reused

FaceOff protects medicines from manufacture to consumption, across all brands and companies, making fake drugs easy to detect and impossible to hide.
