Traceability of Counterfeit Medicine Supply Chain Through Block Chain

Abstract – The main problems with drug safety in the counterfeit medicine supply chain, are to do with how the drugs are initially manufactured. The traceability of right and active pharmaceutical ingredients during actual manufacture is a tough process, so detecting drugs that do not contain the intended active ingredients can ultimately lead to end consumer patient harm or even death. Block chain’s advanced features make it capable of providing a basis for complete traceability of drugs, from manufacturer to end consumer, and the ability to identify counterfeit-drug. This project aims to address the issue of drug safety using Block chain and encrypted QR (quick response) code security. Keywords- Drug safety, QR code encryption and decryption,Data storage
