Why Other Solutions Fail
QR codes, barcodes, holograms, serial numbers, and even most NFC solutions leave your products vulnerable. TAGBASE is a platform with cryptographic, dynamic, no-app-needed authentication.
Schedule a callThe Authentication Landscape
According to the OECD/EUIPO 'Mapping Global Trade in Fakes 2025' report, counterfeit goods accounted for an estimated $467 billion in global trade. Brands invest in authentication solutions — but most of these solutions offer a false sense of security.
From easily-copied QR codes to subjective hologram inspections, from high-friction serial numbers to cloneable static NFC tags — the majority of authentication methods have critical, exploitable weaknesses. TAGBASE was built to solve every single one of them.
Why Static Solutions
Static solutions store or display unchanging data — making them fundamentally copyable. Whether it's a QR code, barcode, serial number, hologram, or static NFC tag, if it never changes, it can always be cloned.
TAGBASE vs. QR Codes
Trivially copyable, zero cryptographic security, phishing risk.
TAGBASE vs. Serial Numbers
Easily shared, high friction, no clone detection.
TAGBASE vs. Barcodes
No per-item identity, designed for logistics not security.
TAGBASE vs. Static NFC
Fixed data, cloneable with $30 device, false sense of security.
TAGBASE vs. Holograms
Subjective inspection, increasingly replicated, no digital proof.
Even Dynamic NFC Has
Dynamic NFC uses strong cryptography — but that's only half the equation. Requiring dedicated apps or limiting to a single verification moment leaves critical gaps that TAGBASE fills.
