Abstract
Digital fingerprints are used to authenticate a physical item. Authentication attempts may automatically trigger various predetermined processes. Different processes may take place depending on whether the authentication was successful. The process(es) may be computer-implemented, for example, using executable scripts. The triggered process(es) may be immediate ('real-time'), or delayed, deferred, or batched, etc. At least one additional process is triggered or initiated, locally or remotely, by at least one affirmative authentication result or at least one additional processes triggered, by at least one unsuccessful authentication attempt. In one example, a combination of purchase and authentication of an item is combined into a single action.
