Back ground of Invention with regard to the drawback associated with the known art:-

Each year hundreds of people have to face death or injury due to products such as fake medicines and other consumable faulty goods, counterfeit and dangerous car components. Counterfeit products include any product bearing an unauthorized representation of a manufacturer's trademark or trade name. Lack of regulatory capacity of well known products affects on demand of those products leading to unauthorized production. The counterfeit goods can be sold through parallel markets. Counterfeit products are poor in quality and are unsafe products at low cost. Counterfeit medicines contain no active ingredient. They could contain a substandard dose allowing the target microbe to develop resistance. Counterfeit products are often smuggled to circumvent problematic inspections and to evade import taxes. They are retailed regularly, lost revenues, sales tax are avoided.

The packaging of the counterfeit products may be limsy packaging, packaging with substandard printing or running colors or packages that appear to have been opened. Packaging of the counterfeit product may include spelling or grammatical errors. They do not have a safety certification label for providing safety, security to consumers. Counterfeit products do not provide owner's manual or product registration card.

Wireless and mobile communication system has become increasingly widespread through cellular communication systems such as GSM or UMTS providing the user different access points. The existing mobile communication system for authentication uses smart card, authentication chip, secure integrated circuits, and remote server device for consumer authentication.

In US patent no. 20100180328, an authentication system and method axe provided, the method comprising, storing a user identification code associated with said user, generating a plurality of functions for producing a pass code based on at least one input by a user, said at least one input comprising said user identification code, storing at least one function and associating said function with a user, generating an application adapted to implement said at least one function on the user device, supplying the application to said user device, generating a transaction code associated with said transaction and supplying the transaction code to said application; and receiving a pass code for said transaction from the user device and authenticating the transaction on the basis of the received pass code, the function associated with said user, the user identification code and the transaction code associated with said transaction.

In US patent no. 7725717, the invention provides for secure end-to-end user authentication by a remote server communicating with a communication device. The communication device further communicates with an authentication device, which provides a user authentication message to the communication device for forwarding to the remote server. The authentication device comprises a data store for storing user authentication credentials. A user authentication processor performs a local authentication of a user of the authentication device in response to a user input. An authentication processor generates the authentication message if the user authentication is valid. The authentication processor implements a cryptographic function based on the user authentication credentials. A transmitter then transmits the authentication message to the at least one communication device.

In US patent no.6442525, A system for authenticating physical objects in which the authentication key cannot be determined by reverse engineering the software or hardware of a controlling microprocessor. Two highly secure integrated circuits (ChipA and ChipT), both containing the same secret authentication key, are used. ChipA is attached to the physical object to be authenticated. ChipT is attached to the authenticating product. ChipA and ChipT are compared using a secure protocol that utilizes secure authentication circuitry implemented in ChipA and ChipT. The secure protocol is mediated by a system that may be insecure. This has the advantage that the computing devices and software of the authenticating product are not required to be secured. Reverse engineering the authenticating product will not reveal the secret authentication key. This allows standardized highly secure authentication chips to be used, without requiring security to be implemented in a wide range of product specific microcontrollers.

The existing process does not involve consumer verifying the authenticity of the product with a central database of the manufacturer/brand owner or its authorized third party, through GSM technology using simple mobile phone and its SMS/camera feature.
