Abstract
A system for and method of verifying a configuration of an artifact, such as a gun, a phone, or other artifact, is provided. The system includes a plurality of unique verification mechanisms, each verification mechanism including a unique identifier for distinguishing the verification mechanism from each of the other verification mechanisms. The method includes engaging a verification mechanism with the artifact and/or with an object and/or device associated with the artifact so as to move the artifact to a verifiable configuration while simultaneously moving the verification mechanism to a verifying configuration. The method further includes scanning the verification mechanism to create a first verification record, thereby providing evidence of such configurations. The verification mechanism is configured such that moving the artifact away from the verifiable configuration moves the verification mechanism away from the verifying configuration, thereby preventing the verification mechanism from moving back to the verifying configuration.
