Abstract
In general, techniques are described for authenticating a parcel consignee. A device including an imaging module, processors, and an output module may implement the techniques. The imaging module images a first indicia of a parcel and a second indicia that is separate from the first parcel to obtain representations of the first and second indicia. The processors process the representations of the first and second indicia to determine a first key specified by the first indicia and a second key specified by the second indicia. The processors also determine whether the second key corresponds with the first key, and authenticate a consignee that provided the second indicia as an authorized recipient of the parcel based on the determination of whether the second key corresponds with the first key. The output module then indicates whether the one or more processors authenticate the consignee as the authorized recipient of the parcel.
