1. An anti-counterfeiting method, comprising:
- creating a first data set having data in a first data arrangement;
modifying the data within said first data set to create a second data arrangement for said first data set;
determining whether data on an object presented for validation is consistent with the data of the first or second data arrangement for said first data set; and
if the data on said object presented for validation is determined to be consistent with the data of the first or second data arrangement for said first data set, accepting said object presented for validation, else rejecting said object presented for validation.

18. An anti-counterfeiting system, comprising:
-
a first data set having data in a first data arrangement, the data within said first data set being modifiable to create a second data arrangement for said first data set;
data reading apparatus, said data reading apparatus reading data on an object; and
a data processing system operatively associated with said data reading apparatus, the data processing system receiving the data on said object from said data reading apparatus, the data processing system determining whether the data on said object is consistent with the data of the first or second data arrangements for said first data set, said object being accepted if said data processing system determines that the data on said object is consistent with the data of the first or second data arrangement for said first data set, said object being rejected if said data processing system does not determine that the data on said object is consistent with the data of the first or second data arrangement for said first data set.

20. An anti-counterfeiting system, comprising:
a data processing system for modifying data within a computer readable storage device having a first data arrangement to create a second data arrangement for said data, for determining whether data on an object is consistent with the data of the first or second data arrangement, and for accepting said object if the data on said object is determined to be consistent with the data of the first or second data arrangement, else for rejecting said object.
