Abstract
Disclosed is a device and process for marking and detecting labels with spectral band authentication features utilizing a reader that can be affixed to a smart phone and positioned so as to align the lens of the phone's camera with a reader aperture. The reader aperture allows the camera to view an item through a spacer, wherein a UV and IR light source is used to reveal indicia within invisible ink. The light source employs a distinct emission spectrum characterized by narrow peaks and gaps which can illuminate pigment of the invisible ink that is selectively responsive at the wavelengths of specific peaks and/or unresponsive at the gaps in the spectrum. The smart phone captures the indicia revealed and interfaces with a cloud-based database to provide verification of authenticity.
