A startup called Dust Identity raised $10m to grow its diamond-based security business.
The company, which uses tiny bits of diamond dust to help manufacturers secure
their supply chains against counterfeiters, offers a solution to manufacturers
who are struggling to control the quality of all the pieces that go into their
products.
Dust Identity mixes tiny, ground-up diamond fragments into a
polymer and then sprays the whole mixture onto physical objects such as
airplane parts or computer components.
When these objects dry, these tiny diamond fragments form a unique
configuration that can be scanned into a database and used to authenticate
objects as they move along a supply chain.
