Abstract
A method for authenticating an item of interest. A nucleic acid tag comprised of a nucleotide-support platform attached to a first nucleic acid molecule is added to the item of interest, where information about the item of interest is contained within the first nucleic acid molecule. A portion of an item is sampled for the presence of the nucleic acid tag, where the item is potentially the item of interest. The presence of the nucleic acid tag is detected in the sample, where the presence of the first nucleic acid tag authenticates the item as the item of interest.
