 ABSTRACT

Counterfeiting is a pervasive issue that poses significant challenges to industries,

economies, and individuals worldwide. The production of counterfeit goods, such as fake
logos and currency, undermines brand integrity, causes financial losses, and destabilizes
economic systems. Traditional methods for counterfeit detection, including manual
inspections and specialized hardware, are often expensive, time-consuming, and prone to
human error. These limitations necessitate the development of an efficient, cost-effective,
and scalable solution.
This project introduces an integrated platform for counterfeit detection, focusing on logos
and currency authenticity. The proposed system leverages advanced Machine learning
models and a user-friendly Streamlit interface to deliver real-time predictions with high
accuracy. By combining the power of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and intuitive
web-based technology, the system addresses the critical challenges associated with
counterfeiting.
The system operates through a streamlined workflow: users upload images of logos or
currency via the web interface, which are then processed by pre-trained CNN models.
These models, fine-tuned to detect patterns and anomalies, classify the uploaded items as
genuine or counterfeit. The results are displayed in an easy-to-understand format, ensuring
accessibility for both technical and non-technical users.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENERAL

The rise of digital technologies has revolutionized numerous industries, yet it has also opened new
avenues for counterfeiting. From fake logos to counterfeit currencies, fraudulent practices
undermine trust and stability. Businesses and financial institutions face significant losses due to
counterfeit products and notes, making the development of automated detection systems a priority.
This project aims to address these challenges by integrating detection capabilities for logos and
currencies into a single, user-friendly interface. By leveraging machine learning and Streamlit, the
proposed system provides a scalable solution for real-time predictions.

Counterfeiting is not a new problem, but the scale at which it occurs today is unprecedented. The
widespread use of counterfeit goods not only impacts the reputation of brands but also has broader
economic implications, such as loss of revenue and job cuts in legitimate sectors. Moreover,
counterfeit currency is a direct threat to the financial system of any nation, leading to inflation,
financial instability, and increased law enforcement costs. These consequences highlight the urgent
need for effective countermeasures.

In recent years, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have shown significant promise in
addressing counterfeiting issues. AI-based models, especially those using deep learning, excel in
recognizing patterns and anomalies in images, making them highly effective for counterfeit
detection. Combined with user-friendly tools like Streamlit, these technologies make it possible to
create accessible, efficient, and scalable solutions that can be used by individuals and organizations
alike.

The project described in this document is designed to address the challenges posed by
counterfeiting by providing a unified platform for detecting fake logos and counterfeit currencies.
By utilizing state-of-the-art AI models and intuitive interfaces, this project aims to offer a robust
and scalable solution for users across various domains.

1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT

Counterfeiting is a global issue that affects industries, economies, and individuals. In the
case of logos, counterfeit branding undermines the integrity and reputation of businesses,
leading to significant revenue losses and eroding consumer trust. Similarly, counterfeit
currency poses severe challenges to financial systems, leading to increased inflation, loss
of public confidence in monetary policies, and economic instability. The following key
problems are associated with counterfeiting:
• Economic Loss: Counterfeit products and currencies cause significant
financial losses to businesses, governments, and individuals. In industries
reliant on brand recognition, fake logos dilute market value and customer
loyalty.
• Legal and Regulatory Challenges: Counterfeiting often involves organized
crime, requiring extensive resources to combat. The legal frameworks in place
to handle these issues are often inadequate or underfunded.
• Time-Consuming and Inefficient Processes: Current detection methods for
counterfeit items are manual and resource-intensive. Human inspection is
prone to errors and lacks scalability.
• Technological Gaps: Existing systems are either too specialized or lack
integration, making them ineffective for handling diverse counterfeit
scenarios. For example, a tool designed for currency verification may not
support logo detection.
• User Accessibility: Many detection systems are expensive and complex,
restricting their use to large organizations with substantial budgets. There is a
need for solutions that are accessible to smaller businesses and individual
users.
This project aims to tackle these issues by developing a cost-effective, scalable, and user-
friendly platform that integrates logo and currency detection capabilities.

2
1.3 EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing methods for counterfeit detection rely on a combination of manual inspection,
specialized hardware, and standalone software solutions. Each of these methods has
limitations that hinder their effectiveness in addressing the broader problem of
counterfeiting.

a. Manual Inspection
Manual inspection is one of the oldest methods for counterfeit detection. This
involves trained personnel examining items for signs of forgery or inconsistency.
While this approach can be effective for small-scale operations, it is inherently slow
and prone to human error. Additionally, manual inspection is not scalable, making
it unsuitable for handling large volumes of counterfeit detection tasks.

b. Specialized Hardware
Specialized devices, such as ultraviolet (UV) light scanners, magnetic ink detectors,
and microprinting analyzers, are commonly used for currency verification. These
tools are effective in detecting specific security features embedded in genuine
currency notes. However, they are expensive, limited in scope, and require regular
maintenance. Furthermore, they do not address the problem of counterfeit logos or
other forms of counterfeiting.

c. Standalone Software Solutions

Software-based solutions often focus on specific aspects of counterfeiting, such as
logo recognition or currency verification. While these tools leverage digital
technologies to improve detection accuracy, they are typically standalone
applications that lack integration with other systems. Users must switch between
different tools to handle diverse counterfeit scenarios, leading to inefficiencies and
increased costs.

3
1.3.1 DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM

The drawbacks of existing systems highlight the need for a more integrated, efficient, and
user-friendly solution. Key drawbacks include:
1. High Cost: Specialized hardware, such as UV scanners and magnetic ink
detectors, and advanced software solutions can be prohibitively expensive,
limiting their accessibility to smaller organizations and individuals.
2. Limited Focus: Current systems are often designed to handle one type of
counterfeit detection, such as currency verification or logo identification. This
narrow focus makes them unsuitable for users dealing with multiple
counterfeit challenges.
3. Manual Dependency: Many systems still rely heavily on manual processes,
which are prone to errors and inconsistencies. Manual inspections are time-
intensive and unsuitable for large-scale operations.
4. Scalability Challenges: Traditional systems struggle to handle high volumes
of counterfeit detection tasks, making them inefficient for industries that
process large quantities of items.
5. Training Requirements: Many tools have steep learning curves, requiring
users to undergo extensive training before they can operate the systems
effectively. This creates additional costs and delays in implementation.
6. Inconsistent Results: Manual processes and some automated systems
produce varying levels of accuracy, often depending on the skill of the
operator or the quality of the data provided.

4.1 GENERAL

System design is the process of designing the elements of a system such as the architecture,
modules and components, the different interfaces of those components and the data that
goes through that system. System Analysis is the process that decomposes a system into its
component pieces for the purpose of defining how well those components interact to
accomplish the set requirements. The purpose of the System Design process is to provide
sufficient detailed data and information about the system and its system elements to enable
the implementation consistent with architectural entities as defined in models and views of
the system architecture.

Feasibility studies play a crucial role in determining the practicality and viability of a
project. This phase evaluates whether the proposed solution can be successfully developed

4.2 SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

Figure 4.1: Architecture Diagram

4.3 UML DESIGN

Unified Modelling Language (UML) is a general purpose modelling language. The main
aim of UML is to define a standard way to visualize the way a system has been designed.
It is quite similar to blueprints used in other fields of engineering.

16
 UML is not a programming language; it is rather a visual language. Use UML diagrams to
portray the behaviour and structure of a system, UML helps software engineers,
businessmen and system architects with modelling, design and analysis.

t’s been managed by OMG ever since. International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
published UML as an approved standard in 2005. UML has been revised over the years and
is reviewed periodically.

UML combines best techniques from data modelling (entity relationship diagrams),
business modelling (work flows), object modelling, and component modelling. It can be
used with all processes, throughout the software development life cycle, and across
different implementation technologies.

UML has synthesized the notations of the Booch method, the Object-modelling technique
(OMT) and Object-oriented software engineering (OOSE) by fusing them into a single,
common and widely usable modelling language. UML aims to be a standard modelling
language which can model concurrent and distributed systems.

The Unified Modelling Language (UML) is used to specify, visualize, modify, construct
and document the artifacts of an object-oriented software intensive system under
development. UML offers a standard way to visualize a system's architectural blueprints,
including elements such as:
▪ Actors
▪ Business processes
▪ (logical) Components
▪ Activities
▪ Programming Language Statements
▪ Database Schemes
▪ Reusable software components.
➢ Complex applications need collaboration and planning from multiple teams and hence
require a clear and concise way to communicate amongst them.

➢ Businessmen do not understand code. So UML becomes essential to communicate with

non-programmer's essential requirements, functionalities and processes of the system.
17
➢ A lot of time is saved down the line when teams are able to visualize processes, user
interactions and static structure of the system.

➢ UML is linked with object-oriented design and analysis. UML makes the use of elements
and forms associations between them to form diagrams. Diagrams in UML can be broadly
classified as:

The Primary goals in the design of the UML are as follows

➢ Provide users a ready-to-use, expressive visual modelling Language so that they can
develop and exchange meaningful models.

➢ Provide extendibility and specialization mechanisms to extend the core concepts.

4.3.1 USE-CASE DIAGRAM

A Use Case is a kind of behavioural classifier that represents a declaration of an offered

behaviour.
Each use case specifies some behaviour, possibly including variants that the subject can
perform in collaboration with one or more actors. Use cases define the offered behaviour
of the subject without reference to its internal structure.
These behaviours, involving interactions between the actor and the subject, may result in
changes to the state of the subject and communications with its environment. A use case
can include possible variations of its basic behaviour, including exceptional.
The primary components of a use case diagram include:

18
• Actor

An actor is an external entity that interacts with the system. Actors can be people, other
systems, or even hardware devices. Actors are represented as stick figures or simple icons.
They are placed outside the system boundary, typically on the left or top of the diagram.
• Use Case

A use case represents a specific functionality or action that the system can perform in
response to an actor's request. Use cases are represented as ovals within the system
boundary. The name of the use case is written inside the oval.
• Association Relationship

An association relationship is a line connecting an actor to a use case. It represents the

interaction or communication between an actor and a use case.
The arrowhead indicates the direction of the interaction, typically pointing from the actor
to the use case.

4.3.2 CLASS DIAGRAM

A class diagram in Unified Modelling Language (UML) is a type of structural diagram that
represents the static structure of a system by depicting the classes, their attributes, methods,
and the relationships between them. Class diagrams are fundamental in object-oriented
design and provide a blueprint for the software's architecture.
Here are the key components and notations used in a class diagram:

• Class

A class represents a blueprint for creating objects. It defines the properties (attributes) and
behaviours (methods) of objects belonging to that class. Classes are depicted as rectangles
with three compartments: the top compartment contains the class name, the middle
compartment lists the class attributes, and the bottom compartment lists the class methods.
• Attributes

Attributes are the data members or properties of a class, representing the state of objects.
Attributes are shown in the middle compartment of the class rectangle and are typically
listed as a name followed by a colon and the data type (e.g., name: String).
• Methods

Methods represent the operations or behaviours that objects of a class can perform.
Methods are listed in the bottom compartment of the class rectangle and include the
methodname, parameters, and the return type (e.g., calculateCost(parameters):
ReturnType).

• Visibility Notations

Visibility notations indicate the access level of attributes and methods. The common
notations are:
+ (public): Accessible from anywhere.

- (private): Accessible only within the class.

# (protected): Accessible within the class and its subclasses.

~ (package or default): Accessible within the package.

20
• Associations
Associations represent relationships between classes, showing how they are connected.
Associations are typically represented as a solid line connecting two classes. They may
have multiplicity notations at both ends to indicate how many objects of each class can
participate in the relationship (e.g., 1*).
Aggregations and Compositions: Aggregation and composition are special types of
associations that represent whole-part relationships. Aggregation is denoted by a hollow
diamond at the diamond end, while composition is represented by a filled diamond.
Aggregation implies a weaker relationship, where parts can exist independently, while
composition implies a stronger relationship, where parts are dependent on the whole.

21
4.3.3 ACTIVITY DIAGRAM

An activity diagram portrays the control flow from a start point to a finish point showing
the various decision paths that exist while the activity is being executed.
The diagram might start with an initial activity such as "User approaches the door." This
activity triggers the system to detect the presence of the user's Bluetooth-enabled device,
initiating the authentication process.
Next, the diagram could depict a decision point where the system determines whether the
detected device is authorized. If the device is recognized as authorized, the diagram would
proceed to the activity "Unlock the door." Conversely, if the device is not authorized, the
diagram might show alternative paths such as prompting the user for additional
authentication credentials or denying access.
The key components and notations used in an activity diagram:

• Initial Node

An initial node, represented as a solid black circle, indicates the starting point of the activity
diagram. It marks where the process or activity begins.
• Activity/Action

An activity or action represents a specific task or operation that takes place within the
system or a process. Activities are shown as rectangles with rounded corners. The name of
the activity is placed inside the rectangle.
• Control Flow Arrow

Control flow arrows, represented as solid arrows, show the flow of control from one activity
to another. They indicate the order in which activities are executed.
• Decision Node
A decision node is represented as a diamond shape and is used to model a decision point or
branching in the process. It has multiple outgoing control flow arrows, each labelled with
a condition or guard, representing the possible paths the process can take based on
condition.

• Merge Node
A merge node, also represented as a diamond shape, is used to show the merging of multiple
control flows back into a single flow.
22
• Fork Node
A fork node, represented as a black bar, is used to model the parallel execution of multiple
activities or branches. It represents a point where control flow splits into multiple
concurrent paths.
• Join Node
A join node, represented as a black bar, is used to show the convergence of multiple control
flows, indicating that multiple paths are coming together into a single flow.
• Final Node
A final node, represented as a solid circle with a border, indicates the end point of the
activity diagram. It marks where the process or activity concludes.

TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION

5.1 WHAT IS PYTHON

Python is a high-level, versatile, and widely-used programming language known for its
simplicity, readability, and vast range of applications. Created by Guido van Rossum and
first released in 1991, Python has grown to become one of the most popular programming
languages in the world. It is used in various fields, including web development, data
science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation, scientific computing, and
more. The language was created to provide a simpler, more readable alternative to complex
programming languages. Van Rossum wanted Python to be fun to use, and he named it
after the British comedy show "Monty Python’s Flying Circus," not the snake.

Python was developed by Guido van Rossum during the late 1980s and was released as
Python 1.0 in 1991. The language was created to provide a simpler, more readable
alternative to complex programming languages. Van Rossum wanted Python to be fun to
use, and he named it after the British comedy show "Monty Python’s Flying Circus," not
the snake. Over the years, Python has undergone several major updates:

• Python 1.0 (1991): The initial release with basic features like exception handling
and functions.
• Python 2.x (2000): Introduced more robust features but faced criticism for
compatibility issues.
• Python 3.x (2008 - present): A major overhaul focusing on cleaner syntax and
eliminating outdated features from Python 2.x.

Today, Python 3.x is the standard, and Python 2.x has reached its end of life.

Python’s simple syntax mimics natural language, making it easy to learn, even for
beginners. Unlike other programming languages that have complex syntax rules, Python’s
code is more readable and concise. For example, a basic Python code to print "Hello,
World!" is as simple as writing print ("Hello, World!"). This simplicity allows developers
24
to focus more on solving problems rather than dealing with complicated syntax. Python is
an interpreted language, meaning that code is executed line by line. This feature makes
debugging easier since errors are detected at runtime. Additionally, Python supports both
object-oriented and functional programming paradigms, allowing developers to choose the
style that best fits their project.

One of the reasons why Python is widely used is its cross-platform compatibility. Python
is platform-independent, meaning that Python programs can run on various operating
systems such as Windows, Linux, and macOS without requiring significant modifications.
This makes it a great choice for developing applications that need to run across different
environments. Python comes with a rich standard library that provides built-in functions
and modules to handle various tasks such as file I/O, regular expressions, web development,
data manipulation, and scientific computing. In addition to the standard library, there are
thousands of third-party libraries and frameworks available via PyPI (Python Package
Index), which extend Python’s capabilities even further.

Another feature that makes Python popular is its dynamic typing. In Python, you don’t need
to declare variable types explicitly. The type of a variable is determined at runtime based
on the value assigned. For example, you can assign an integer to a variable and then change
its value to a string without any issues. This feature makes coding faster and more flexible.
Moreover, Python automatically handles memory management, meaning developers don’t
need to manually allocate or free memory, reducing the chances of memory-related bugs.

Python is also used in automation and scripting. It can automate repetitive tasks through
scripts, making it ideal for tasks like web scraping, file handling, and data entry. For
instance, you can write a Python script to rename files in a directory based on a specific
pattern. In game development, Python can be used to create games using libraries like
Pygame. Additionally, Python is popular in the scientific and academic community for
tasks like simulations, mathematical computations, and research. Popular libraries for
scientific computing include SciPy, SymPy, and Jupyter Notebooks.

The versatility of Python makes it suitable for a wide range of industries, from web
development and data science to automation and cybersecurity. Python is actively
maintained and continuously improved, with new libraries and frameworks regularly
introduced to keep up with technological advancements. The language is easy to read and

25
 write, making it accessible to developers of all skill levels. Python’s extensive libraries and
frameworks simplify the development process, allowing developers to build complex
applications with less code.

In conclusion, Python is a powerful, versatile, and beginner-friendly programming

language that is widely used across various industries. Its simplicity, extensive libraries,
and large community support make it a popular choice for web development, data science,
AI, and more. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced programmer, learning Python
opens up numerous opportunities in the tech world. Its continuous development and
adoption ensure that it will remain relevant for years to come.

5.4 DISADVANTAGES OF PYTHON

While Python is one of the most popular programming languages due to its simplicity,
versatility, and extensive libraries, it is not without its drawbacks. Below is a detailed
exploration of the disadvantages of Python, categorized under various side headings to
provide a comprehensive understanding.
1. Performance Issues: Python is an interpreted language, meaning that code is executed
line by line rather than being compiled into machine code beforehand. This results in slower
execution speed compared to languages like C, C++, or Java. The slower runtime can be a
critical issue for applications that require high performance, such as gaming engines, real-
time applications, or complex algorithms.
For example, in scenarios involving large-scale data processing or real-time analytics,
Python's performance can become a bottleneck. Developers may need to use more efficient
languages like C or C++ for such tasks.

33
2. High Memory Consumption: Python’s dynamic typing system can lead to higher
memory usage compared to statically typed languages. Variables in Python do not need
explicit type declarations, which makes the language more flexible but also less memory-
efficient.
For instance, if an application requires handling a vast amount of data, Python’s memory
consumption could impact the system’s performance. This is especially relevant in
applications like web servers, where efficient memory usage is crucial.

3. Not suitable for low-level Programming: Python is a high-level language designed for
readability and simplicity. It abstracts many low-level operations that are essential in
system-level programming, such as memory management and direct interaction with
hardware.
For applications that require direct hardware interaction, such as embedded systems, device
drivers, or real-time systems, languages like C and C++ are preferred. Python’s abstraction
makes it less suitable for such use cases.

4. Mobile Development Limitations: Python is not commonly used for mobile app
development. While there are frameworks like Kivy and BeeWare that support building
mobile applications with Python, they are not as mature or popular as frameworks like
Flutter, React Native, or Swift for iOS.
The lack of native support and slower performance makes Python less appealing for mobile
development. Companies that prioritize mobile-first strategies often prefer other languages
like Java, Kotlin, or Swift.

5. Database Access Limitations: Python’s database access layers are less robust compared
to Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) or Open Database Connectivity (ODBC). While
Python provides libraries like SQLAlchemy and Django ORM for database interactions,
they may not offer the same level of performance and efficiency as tools in other languages.
For applications with intensive database operations, developers might face performance
issues and may need to resort to more efficient solutions or languages.

 CHAPTER 6

IMPLEMENTATION

6.1 METHODOLOGY

The implementation of the Fake detection system involves a systematic approach that
ensures efficiency, accuracy, and scalability. This methodology is divided into multiple
stages, each contributing to the overall functionality of the system. Below is a detailed
explanation of each stage:

1. Data Collection:

Data collection is a crucial step in developing an effective counterfeit detection system.

High-quality and diverse datasets are required to train the pre-trained models and fine-tune
them for accurate predictions. This step includes:

• Sourcing Data: Images of real and counterfeit logos and currencies are
collected from public datasets, industry sources, and custom-built datasets.
• Data Categorization: Collected images are categorized into appropriate
classes (e.g., real vs. counterfeit).
• Data Cleaning: Irrelevant or low-quality images are removed to ensure
consistency and relevance.
• Data Augmentation: Techniques like flipping, rotation, and scaling are
applied to increase dataset diversity and improve model generalization.

2. Loading Pre-Trained Model:

To expedite development and leverage existing research, the project employs pre-trained
deep learning models. These models are loaded into the system using TensorFlow/Keras.
Key tasks include:

• Loading the model architecture and weights.

• Configuring the models for inference by freezing certain layers if needed.

35
 • Preparing the models for integration with the preprocessing and interface
components.

3. Image Preprocessing

Uploaded images must be pre-processed to ensure compatibility with the model's input
requirements. Preprocessing involves:

• Resizing: Images are resized to a fixed resolution (e.g., 150x150 pixels) to

standardize input dimensions.
• Normalization: Pixel values are normalized to a range of 0 to 1, improving
model performance and stability.
• Conversion: Images are converted to NumPy arrays to facilitate numerical
processing.

4. Integration with Streamlit Interface

The user interface is designed using Streamlit, offering an interactive and user-friendly
experience. Key functionalities include:

• A file uploader for selecting images to analyze.

• Buttons to trigger processing and display predictions.
• A clear layout for presenting results.

5. Model Inference

Once pre-processed, the image is passed through the loaded model to generate predictions.
This step involves:

• Feeding the pre-processed image into the model.

• Interpreting the model's output probabilities to classify the image as "Real" or
"Fake."
• Applying predefined thresholds (e.g., a probability above 0.6 indicates a
"Real" prediction).

36
 6. Displaying Results

Predictions and associated confidence scores are displayed on the Streamlit interface. This
ensures transparency and provides users with clear, actionable information. Results are
formatted for readability.

6.2 SAMPLE CODE

TESTING

7.1 GENERAL

The purpose of testing is to discover errors. Testing is the process of trying to discover
every conceivable fault or weakness in a work product. It provides a way to check the
functionality of components, sub-assemblies, assemblies and/or a finished product. It is the
process of exercising software with the intent of ensuring that the Software system meets
its requirements and user expectations and does not fail in an unacceptable manner. There
are various types of tests. Each test type addresses a specific testing requirement.

Testing for a Multilevel Data Concealing Technique that integrates Steganography and
Visual Cryptography is crucial to ensure its functionality, security, and reliability. The
testing process involves several stages, including unit testing, integration testing, and
security testing.

CONCLUSION

10.1 CONCLUSION

Counterfeiting poses a growing threat to industries and economies worldwide, causing

financial losses, diminishing brand integrity, and destabilizing economic systems. The
increasing sophistication of counterfeiters has made it imperative to develop advanced
technological solutions to detect fake objects efficiently. The "Fake Object Detection"
project addresses these challenges by providing a robust, scalable platform for detecting
counterfeit logos and currencies through the integration of machine learning models and a
user-friendly web interface.

The proposed system stands out for its ability to leverage Convolutional Neural Networks
(CNNs) to analyze images for anomalies and classify them as either genuine or fake. This
approach significantly improves the accuracy of counterfeit detection compared to
traditional methods. The system’s core architecture revolves around a seamless workflow,
where users can upload images through a web interface, which are then processed by pre-
trained models. The results are displayed in an easy-to-understand format, ensuring
accessibility for both technical and non-technical users.

The system also addresses several drawbacks associated with existing counterfeit detection
methods. Traditional methods, such as manual inspection and the use of specialized
hardware like ultraviolet (UV) scanners, are often time-consuming, expensive, and prone
to human error. These methods also lack scalability and integration, making them
inefficient for handling diverse counterfeit scenarios. In contrast, the proposed system
integrates both logo and currency detection capabilities into a single platform, thereby
streamlining operations and improving detection accuracy

53
The project's technical feasibility is evident from its use of widely available open-source
tools such as Python, TensorFlow, and Keras. These technologies enable efficient model
training, deployment, and scalability. The system employs CNNs to identify intricate
patterns and anomalies in images, ensuring that it can differentiate between authentic and
counterfeit items. Furthermore, the use of pre-trained models reduces the time and
resources required for development, making the solution more practical for real-world
applications

In conclusion, the "Fake Multiple Object Detection" project is a significant step forward in
the fight against counterfeiting. By combining advanced machine learning techniques with
a user-friendly interface, the project offers a practical solution for detecting fake logos and
currencies. Its emphasis on accessibility, accuracy, and scalability ensures that the system
can be adopted by a wide range of users, from small businesses to large financial
institutions. With continuous development and improvements, this system has the potential
to become a vital tool in the global effort to combat counterfeiting, thereby contributing to
safer and more trustworthy marketplaces
