This sounds like a solution in search of a problem. Sure, there are a lot of knock-off products out there, but the people who care typically know how to spot the fakes. The people willing to spend $5k or (a lot?) more on products they know are often faked, haven't educated themselves on how to spot those fakes, and aren't buying from people they trust, are probably not going to put forth the effort to benefit from this anyway.
This market doesn't work exactly like other consumer goods markets. It doesn't make sense to apply the same kinds of protections.

- Retric 15y agoMost systems are implemented poorly. However, even even with encryption as long as you don't authenticate with an online server somewhere once you have physical access to the device is almost impossible to prevent someone from copying the internal key's. You might end up producing 50,000 identical devices that are easy to track after the fact but they can be sold before those defects are noticed at which point they can just swap to the next set of key's. Worse yet most 'secure' RFID systems just retransmit the same key every time and trust repeated use to be detected by other systems.
