Abstract: Aspects of the present invention are directed to implementing transformation of an original entity into a verifiably authenticable entity in a heterogeneous communications network environment including at least a publisher computer, a server computer system, a customer computer, and a public record keeping system in a decentralized computational network which communicate with one another over a communications network such as the Internet. An electronic record of the original entity is created by the server computer system by associating a set of randomly produced unique identifiers to a physical indicia identifier which is extracted from an electronic file created by the publisher computer based on a digital reproduction of a portion of the original entity. A uniquely encrypted message associated with the electronic record of the original entity is published to a chain of data on a public record keeping system residing in nodes in a decentralized computational network which may be a Blockchain network.
