Scantrust is a Swiss company that provides an Internet of things platform for identifying products on the internet. [1]
Scantrust offers traceability for various industries, such as luxury goods, [2] food products,[ citation needed] industrial machines, [3] water filters, cables, [4] agrochemical products, [5] and fiscal stamps. [6] Nathan J. Anderson is the CEO. [7]
Justin Picard, Nathan J. Anderson, and Paul Landry founded Scantrust at the end of 2013. [8] [9] A seed round led by SOSV was raised in 2015, [10] [11] and a series A led by Credit Suisse was raised in 2017. [12] [13] [14] In 2016, the company concluded a partnership with Agfa-Gevaert to integrate its technologies into Agfa's security software. [15] [16] In 2017, the National Seeds Institute of Argentina released a fiscal stamp printed with Scantrust secure QR Code. [6] In 2018, the company entered into a partnership with Hyperledger and began offering services using Hyperledger Sawtooth. [17] In 2019, the Dutch Standards organisation NEN announced they would use Scantrust secure QR codes to ensure the authenticity of their certificates. [18] The same year, Scantrust entered into a partnership with HP Indigo for labels printed with HP commercial printers. [19] In 2020, Scantrust entered into a partnership with SAP [20] to deliver end-to-end traceability.
The company has developed a QR Code system with an additional layer of protection against copying, based on inserting a copy detection pattern or secure graphic which loses information when it is copied. [21] [14] The technology does not require special materials, inks, and modifications to printing equipment to implement. [22] Related product authentication and traceability data can be stored into a blockchain. [23]
QR codes used in Scantrust authentication and traceability systems are printed on product packaging and scanned with a smartphone to authenticate and track products. [24] [25] The company provides a free app to consumers which can be used to scan products with the copy detection pattern and help detect counterfeits. [26] [27] [28] Scanning of a code with a smartphone can also offer a traceability feature with origin and supply chain information made about the product made available [29] [30] An enterprise app is also provided for employees, distributors and forensic inspections. [31]

Specifically, compared with the existing CDP(Copy Detection Pattern)-based approaches (represented by the ScanTrust technology [5], [13]–[15]), the contributions of the proposed authentication scheme can be summarised as follows.
By scanning the QR-code you access the product information stored in the blockchain. ScanTrust is a solution[ buzzword] with patented QR-codes that can't be reprinted and put on another product. Therefore, a sealed bag with a scannable ScanTrust QR-code contains the same products during all stages of the supply chain.
