Mechanisms for validating the authenticity of an item. A reader device records authentication data that is obscured in a label. The authentication data is provided to a remote authentication server via a network. The reader device receives, from the remote authentication server, an authentication response based on the authentication data. Based at least in part on the authentication response, the reader device displays an indication that identifies whether the item is authentic.

Mechanisms for authenticating the validity of an item

A multi-spectral photon converting imaging apparatus and method are disclosed. A plurality of photons in a first received band and a plurality of photons in a second received band are received by a first nanoparticle photon conversion material. The first nanoparticle photon conversion material converts the plurality of photons in the first received band to a plurality of photons in a first converted band, and the plurality of photons in the second received band to a plurality of photons in a second converted band. An image sensor receives the plurality of photons in the first converted band and the plurality of photons in the second converted band, and generates a digitized image of the scene based on the plurality of photons in the first converted band and the plurality of photons in the second converted band.
