About us
DUST Identity is a physical object security solution that uses microscopic diamonds to securely tag objects, so they are uniquely identifiable. Think of a barcode, but much smaller, unfalsifiable, and made with diamonds. With DUST, customers can ensure that every physical object — whether an airplane part, microprocessor, or priceless artifact — is verified, authenticated, and ultimately, can be trusted.
DUST is a venture capital-backed startup. Enabled by the development of new materials, cutting edge hardware, and exciting machine vision, we aim to become the industry standard for physical object identification and security.
