Method for improving security and enhancing information storage capability, the system and apparatus for producing the method, and products produced by the system and apparatus using the method

Abstract

One alternative and optional method of the present invention provides a secured item specific identification system incorporating the steps of identifying an item to a determined degree, generating a first identifying code for the item, generating a second code and separately providing the same to a partner, enabling an access to secure identification data regarding the item upon an authorizing use of both the first and second code. In other optional alternative embodiments, the first and second codes may be optionally linked or alternatively provided in alternative and adaptive composite symbology formats.

1 . A method for enhancing information security during item transfer, comprising the steps of: 
 enumerating an item specific designation for a user specified item;    encoding said enumerated item specific designation into a readable composite symbology encodation; 
 said composite symbology encodation, comprising: 
 at least a first and a second encoded symbology portion, wherein said at least first and second portions are electronically joined during said step of encoding and require a combination of said portions to read said encoded item specific designation;  
 
   deconstructing said readable composite symbology encodation into said at least first and second encoded symbology portions rendering at least one of said at least first and second portions separately unreadable without the other;    applying one of said deconstructed at least first and second encoded symbology portions to said user specified item;    transferring said user specified item to at least a first authorized party;    transferring said other of said at least first and second encoded symbology portions to said at least first authorized party separately from said user specified item; and    reconstructing said at least first and second encoded symbology portions and into said readable composite symbology encodation, thereby enabling said authorized party to conduct a step of reading said composite symbology encodation and determining said item specific designation.
