SECURE UID GENERATOR
WE GENERATE SECURE UNIQUE IDENTIFIERS IN ALMOST ENDLESS NUMBERS
ROBUST AND SECURE UID GENERATOR
“Secure UID Generator” refers to the robust process of issuing unique identification numbers (UIDs) or codes, which find application across various sectors. The term “Secure” underscores the necessity of incorporating stringent security measures throughout the issuance process to avert counterfeiting, tampering, and unauthorized access.
A “Unique Identifier” represents a distinctive product code designed to identify and distinguish individual objects, products, or entities. These unique product codes may manifest as alphanumeric codes, barcodes, QR codes, or other digital identifiers.
EVERY PRODUCT ITEM BECOMES UNIQUE
PRODUCT DIGITALIZATION WITH OUR UID GENERATOR
Digitalization of products transcends being merely a megatrend for enabling traceability, authentication, or life cycle monitoring. It has also evolved into a regulatory requirement, exemplified by the European Digital Product Passport (DDP). The DDP aims to advance Europe’s digital maturity, particularly by setting new standards for establishing a circular economy, conserving resources, reducing carbon footprints, and eliminating illegal products from the market.
How to generate a UID
To digitalize a product using a UID generator, one must assign a Unique Identifier (UID). Typically, a UID consists of a long string of alphanumeric symbols and is displayed as a 2D code or QR code, or it may be embedded in an RFID chip. These unique product codes require identifiers to route them to their relevant cloud services. Consequently, they are often attached to a URL and/or a service identifier.
DIGITAL PRODUCT PASSPORT (DPP)
The Unique Identifier functions like a passport for the product, making all items in the market identifiable and traceable. It allows us to follow products on their journey from creation to use and finally to the end of their lifecycle, whether through disposal or recycling.
DPP requirements
However, obtaining such truly unique IDs and managing them securely can be challenging. For instance, how do we ensure that the right individuals within the organization retrieve these IDs, and that their retrieval is authorized? How do we manage attached information, such as product name, production batch, or expiration date? Furthermore, how do we include information required for the Digital Product Passport or collect data from the value creation and distribution chain? Rely on our secure UID Generator to address these concerns comprehensively.
DIGITAL PRODUCT PASSPORT (DPP)
But how to get such truly unique IDs, how to manage them in a secure manner, e.g. how to know, who in the organization has retrieved them, and was that retrieval authorized? How to manage attached information, such as product name, production batch or expiration date? Or how to even attach information required for the Digital Product Passport, or to collect information from the value creation and distribution chain? Trust our secure UID Generator to cover these concerns.
THE SECURIKETT UID GENERATOR
At Securikett, we have proudly operated our proprietary cloud service in the global market for over a decade. This service provides highly scalable UIDs, each one uniquely guaranteed. Our clients typically employ the CODIKETT cloud service for authenticating products vulnerable to counterfeiting or parallel trading. Depending on their specific needs, they may simply utilize user verification or extend it to track and trace their distribution channels.
Use of the Codikett system
Furthermore, our customers vary in their use of the system regarding the granularity of information. Some may only reference their company name or the specific product name when a user verifies a CODIKETT UID with a smartphone. More often, our clients attach information about the expected target market to dismantle parallel trading or unauthorized placement on internet sales platforms.
Integration into tamper-evident labels
Frequently, the unique product codes are integrated into our tamper-evident labels as a secure base, preventing replacement onto another package or refill. In other applications, clients may prefer direct printing of the UIDs onto the product or packaging.

UID GENERATOR SECURITY FEATURES
Numerous system participants
The CODIKETT IoT solution offers scalability not only in terms of volume, speed, and quick response times, but it also functions seamlessly in larger, complex organizations with numerous system participants. While many of our customers initially seek to improve product security independently of regulation, our UID Generator solution is fully equipped to support the next steps in digitalization. Its structured design ensures that the service and its usage are traceable, thereby proving compliance to external authorities.
Modularity
Our SaaS platform, meticulously developed and continuously enhanced by our in-house team of software developers and experts, is completely modular. This flexibility allows it to cater to various applications and industries, ranging from smaller operations to large-scale deployments involving billions of UIDs annually. These UIDs are issued, utilized, information-enriched, and verified until they are eventually removed from the market. The time span for this process can vary from two years to expected lifetimes of over 10 years.
Interoperability
At Securikett, we firmly believe in interoperability, offering interfaces and interaction among diverse market participants. We invite you to explore our use cases of interoperation and discover the benefits of our open yet secure architecture.
