In the US: Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA), Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) Don mentions the term "end-to-end security program". Here's a paper on pharmaceutical product tracking and authentication: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/services/manufacturing/info/pta_59830764en.pdf A paper from FedEx: http://images.fedex.com/us/supply-chain/services/healthcare-shared-network/HSN-End-to-End-security.pdf An article on the state of these activities in 2017: http://pharmaceuticalcommerce.com/supply-chain-logistics/2017-product-security-report/ I'll read these in detail and report any significant information.
