> CandyCodes could play an important role in the fight against fraud in pharmaceuticals and many other products. One wonders if these other products include recreational substances and black market branding, as it would be a fun project to write the openCV code to extract a Vornoi map of the image of the pill and determine if a hash of its matrix were found on something like public ledger. Perhaps using a Bloom filter. Phone cameras are good enough that you could use these maintain some integrity in a reliable black market brand. I actually like this candy version better than other PUF proposals because a person can reason about it and prove it to themselves, whereas other opaque methods like crystals and chemistry reduce to "Trust us! I didn't quite catch your affiliation..." As a standalone product, I don't see this candy tech flying, but as a solution with open implementations, I could see it being useful.
