Abstract

A method and system are provided for counterfeit prevention for optical media. In one example, a system is provided for verifying authenticity information on an optical medium. The system receives the optical medium including a fingerprint having at least one probabilistic feature. A probabilistic feature is a physical feature having both a substantial chance to be read as a first value and a substantial chance to be read as a second value. The system receives an o-DNA signature-at-issuance. The system calculates an o-DNA signature-at-verification by reading each probabilistic feature plural times. The system calculates a vector-of-differences between the o-DNA signature-at-issuance and the o-DNA signature-at-verification. The vector-of-differences includes a maximum distance metric between the o-DNA signature-at-issuance and the o-DNA signature-at-verification. The vector-of-differences indicates the optical medium is authentic if the maximum distance metric is less than a threshold.
