The document proposes using digital certificates to authenticate luxury goods and combat "genuine fakes". It suggests attaching a unique certificate to each product that is registered on a website, allowing customers to validate the certificate and prove the authenticity of the item. This would link each product to its owner in a way that would be impossible to duplicate, providing authentication without additional hardware requirements. The model aims to be secure, simple and low-cost while relying on luxury brands and customers to implement the validation process.
