Abstract
A method and system for authenticating medication. The method includes the steps of printing a first recoverable key on a medication pill, printing a second recoverable key on a medication packaging for the medication pill, employing at least a portion of the first recoverable key to extract information from the second recoverable key, and providing medication authentication in accordance with information extracted from the second recoverable key. The first recoverable key and the second recoverable key may include one or more fractal properties.
