Dust Identity (United States)
Dust Identity: “Dust Identity uses engineered diamond-dust to create unclonable physical identities for high-value objects, enabling trusted traceability and authentication across global supply chains.”
What is DUST?
“DUST stands for Diamond Unclonable Security Tag. It is a nano-engineered coating made of microscopic diamond crystals suspended in a high-performance polymer matrix.”
View in the company profileHow does DUST work?
“Three steps create a digital thread: (1) DUSTing — the diamond-polymer coating is applied to the object during manufacture or intake. The coating is invisible to the naked eye and can be applied at an area as small as 0.0025 mm².”
View in the company profileWhy diamonds?
“Diamond is the hardest known material and is chemically inert, heat-resistant, and mechanically durable. The inherent randomness of how diamond crystals land and cure in a polymer creates a reservoir of entropy analogous to biometrics.”
View in the company profileWhy do existing solutions like barcodes, RFID, and holograms fall short?
“Physical solutions — barcodes, QR codes, RFID, NFC, holograms, labels — are identifiers, not proof of authenticity. They can be cheaply copied, physically removed from a genuine item and reattached to a counterfeit, or purchased in bulk and reused on fake products.”
View in the company profileWhat is the DICE platform?
“DICE is Dust Identity's cloud-based authentication and lifecycle management platform. It stores enrolled DUST fingerprints, records every scan event and custody transfer, hosts associated documentation, and provides real-time visibility across global supply chains.”
