New NFC Solution Prevents Counterfeit Liquor in Taiwan

To protect its highest-value liquors, Taiwanese wine and liquor company Fortune Brewery International Co. is launching an anti-counterfeit program that depends on a passive 13.56 MHz RFID tag (compliant with the ISO 15693 standard) that changes its own unique identifier with each read. The solution, provided by UserStar Information System Co., enables retailers and consumers to employ a Near Field Communication (NFC)-enabled smartphone and the UserStar's PhoneKey app to confirm that a product is not counterfeit.
