I know of four main ways:

* physical unclonable functions

* QR codes

* RFID tags

I'm asking for help from my connections to come up with concrete uses for a cheap passive RFID tag that can perform one-way authentication.

Those of you who follow my videos will know that recently I invented and filed a patent for a blockchain-backed enhancement for such a thing. So far I have:
