The solution
Six layers of protection in one platform.
From a baseline cryptographic QR to behavioural analytics — Pageo brings every authenticity technique into a single architecture.
Layer 1 — Cryptographic QR
ECDSA P-256 signature on every copy. The baseline, available on every plan.
Layer 2 — Scratch layer
Protection against scan-and-copy attacks. The buyer scratches and activates the QR.
Layer 3 — UV marks and microtext
For premium editions: UV ink and microtext — verifiable in store.
- V2.0
Layer 4 — Blockchain Certificate
An immutable record of print run provenance and ownership transfer on a distributed ledger. Planned for V2.0.
Layer 5 — Behavioural analytics
ML anomaly detection: scan spikes, duplicates, geographic mismatches.
- V2.0
Layer 6 — Dynamic e-ink codes
Updatable e-ink labels for collector editions. V2.0 roadmap.

Questions and answers
Frequently asked.
How much does it cost to protect one book?
It depends on the print run and the protection layers chosen — we price every project individually.
Does a printer need special equipment?
No. A standard digital or offset press is enough — we provide ready PDF and EPS files with VDP-blocks.
What if the QR is damaged?
The serial number is always printed openly next to the QR. The book can be verified manually via the site or the Telegram bot.
Are Uzbek and Cyrillic supported?
Yes. Russian, Uzbek Latin, Uzbek Cyrillic and English are supported out of the box.
Where is the data stored?
On servers located in Uzbekistan, in accordance with the personal data law ZRU-547.
What happens when a QR reads as forged?
Report it through the app or the Telegram bot. The publisher rewards the reader for a confirmed report.
Can a book be transferred to another person?
Yes. The app generates a one-time transfer QR — history and bonuses are preserved.
What about textbooks and resale?
Fully supported. Ownership history is preserved — especially valuable for school and university textbooks.
