    Yep, in a way this has similarities to modern cryptography.

    In cryptography you can share a public key, which can’t be used to create the private key but can be used to identify the correct private key.

    With this object, you can share a description which can’t be used to make the object, but can be used to identify the object.

    Its obviously not infallible security, but it would take some effort to overcome.
