- Archive
- To withdraw a record without deleting it. Archived records stop verifying and can be restored (Archiving — nothing is ever deleted).
- Asset
- A unique valuable registered individually and carrying a signed ownership certificate.
- Authenticity code (code)
- The unique string, printed as text and as a QR symbol, that identifies one protected unit.
- Batch
- An item under a product: one production run, to which codes are attached.
- Brand
- The top of the protection chain; the name shown to anyone verifying.
- Code type
- The tier of a code — Public, Reseller or Control — which decides who may verify it.
- Content
- A certified file: a document, certificate or media item bound to a fingerprint of its contents.
- Custody / holder
- Which verifier profile currently holds an item in the field. Moved by a transfer in the app (Transfers & custody).
- Fingerprint
- A value computed from a file's exact contents. If the file changes, the fingerprint no longer matches.
- Issuance
- One act of minting codes for an item, and the unit at which codes are printed and withdrawn.
- Item
- A concrete unit: a batch of a product, one individual valuable, or one document entry.
- Operation
- One recorded verification or transfer — a line in the audit trail.
- Over-verified
- A code checked more times than its ceiling allows; the principal automated counterfeit signal.
- Owner
- The account a record belongs to, and the boundary of who can see it.
- Owner filter
- The administrator control that chooses whose data every screen shows (The owner filter).
- Ownership transfer
- Moving a code from one AuthPlus account to another, in the dashboard. Distinct from custody.

- A manufactured good produced in quantity, organised into batches.
- Subject
- The generic term for a product, an asset category or a content category.
- Superadministrator
- The platform operator's account, which configures code types, templates and verifier types.
- Verification ceiling
- The number of scans a code may receive before a warning is raised (Your verification ceilings).
- Verifier
- The identity under which a scan is recorded — a device profile, not a dashboard account.
- Verifier type
- The template governing a verifier's behaviour: which codes it may check, whether it self-provisions, whether it needs location.
- Verification badge
- The green check displayed beside a brand whose identity AuthPlus has confirmed (Brand verification).
- Warning
- An automatic alert on suspicious activity, awaiting a human decision (Warnings, Moderation).
