RFID helping validate sports collectibles
April 11, 2007
Secureidnews.com: The Texas-based Prova Group's business model is to use RFID technology to be a third-party authenticator of the genuineness of sports collectibles. The Prova system works by having a tamper-proof RFID tag applied directly on the surface of the collectible to be autographed by an athlete. The Prova system records the exact time of the signature to the second, when the item is placed within 12 inches of an antenna set up near the athlete's hand. The autographer's secure identification code is written to the tag, recording who signed as well as when and where the signature occurred. The data for this unique item is recorded in Prova's online registry.
