Abstract: A method and system for authenticating a variety of consumer products is provided. The system includes a plurality of near field communication (NFC) tags configured for coupling to a variety of consumer products, the tags programmed to provide identifying data associated with a single consumer product to an NFC-capable mobile computing device, the NFC having a structure that detects opening of the consumer product, a central database for storing said data, a server communicably connected to a communications network and configured to access the database, and a mobile application executing on a mobile computing device, configured to read said identifying data from the NFC tag and communicate said identifying data to the server.

Abstract: A method for confirming regulatory entity registration of a consumer product and verifying age of a user of the consumer product includes coupling a radio frequency tag to the consumer product, storing in a database a record for each of a plurality of consumer products, and a record for each of a plurality of consumers, executing an application on a computing device for reading identifying data from the radio frequency tag and transmitting said data to a server that accesses a record in the database that corresponds to the product and transmitting a confirmation of regulatory entity registration of the consumer product to the application, wherein the application further reads user identification data and transmits it to the server which calculates an age of the user based on the user identification data, and if the age of the user is above a predefined age, then storing the user identification data.
