Authentific vs Kezzler Platform

Authentific is an enterprise platform combining QR-based product authentication, certificate lifecycle management, and high-security printing. It issues unique product identities with cryptographic signatures for authentication, tracking, diversion control, and consumer verification. Its certificate system covers document design, approvals, issuance, verification, revocation, renewal, bulk issuance, and public checks. The maker says signing keys are generated and stored in FIPS 140-2 validated hardware security modules. Enterprise scans can validate signatures offline using cached or preloaded public keys, while consumer scans require internet access. The platform supports DSCSA serialization and EPCIS-compatible records, along with EU FMD serialization and verification data requirements. Deployment options include multi-region and sovereign cloud, plus on-premise configurations that can support air-gapped verification. Listed connections include SAP and Oracle ERP connectors, a REST API, and leading MES platforms. Standard QR printing equipment and label applicators are supported without proprietary hardware. Authentific targets enterprise manufacturers, typically those producing millions of units annually, and is not suited to low-volume or individual-product authentication. Pricing is scoped by issuance volume, access tier, production scale, lines, geography, and modules.
