Information encryption is an important means to improve
the security
of anti-counterfeiting labels. At present, it is still challenging
to realize an anti-counterfeiting label with multi-function, high
security factor, low production cost, and easy detection and identification.
Herein, using inkjet and screen printing technology, we construct
a multi-dimensional and multi-level dynamic optical anti-counterfeiting
label based on instantaneously luminescent quantum dots and long afterglow
phosphor, whose color and luminous intensity varied in response to
time. Self-assembled quantum dot patterns with intrinsic fingerprint
information endow the label with physical unclonable functions (PUFs),
and the information encryption level of the label is significantly
improved in view of the information variation in the temporal dimension.
Furthermore, the convolutional residual neural networks are used to
decode the massive information of PUFs, enabling fast and accurate
identification of the anti-counterfeit labels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
