DUST Identity
DUST Identity authenticates physical objects with a thin coat of engineered diamond dust. Each randomly oriented constellation of microscopic diamonds forms a fingerprint that cannot be copied, and that fingerprint is bound to a tamper-evident digital record. The result is an unbroken chain of trust from raw material to final delivery, used across aerospace, defense, electronics, luxury goods, and sports memorabilia.
