Secure Technology
The technology underpinning Q-ID harnesses the randomness that is inherent at nanometre length scales; the atomic composition of molecules and how the interaction between molecules depends on their proximity.
The sheer volume and variation of the interactions that occur at nanoscale means that there is a virtually infinite number of combinations that can be created. Q-ID is able to snapshot these interactions by measuring photoluminescence from the materials used to create each Q-ID. This means that the "tag" created at this level cannot be photocopied, unlike QR codes for instance, and are practically impossible to replicate using even the most advanced available technology.
Ease and Speed of Integration
The initial application of Q-ID is through printed features, using inks with small proportional additives of quantum materials, onto specific products or labels. The inks used are readily available at industrial scales, and modified using Quantum Base's patented application of small fluorescent molecules in a proven method.
The inks can be used on existing printing lines with minimal intervention and can be produced and registered as quickly as 1000 Q-IDs per second on a single manufacturing line.
The authentication process to identify printed tags is undertaken using existing and unmodified smartphone technology coupled with the Quantum Base software, either through an app or via a software development kit (SDK). This process does not require a change of existing consumer behaviour, or require any further hardware or infrastructure, avoiding disruption. The SDK provision of the Company's software enables integration into third party mobile apps.
