Beyond Authentication
Creating a new level of transparency, traceability and trust for any object or product earth.
Enduring Trust
Alitheon's FeaturePrint™ technology can identify, authenticate and help track individual objects across supply chains, manufacturing processes and distribution systems without holograms, tags or barcodes that can be difficult to implement yet easily duplicated. FeaturePrint models take just milliseconds to create but provides enduring trust for the life of any object of value.
An Immutable Link Between the Physical and Digital Worlds
IoT, IIoT, Industry 4.0, Industry 5.0, Blockchain... all refer to underlying technologies that promise advancements in efficiency and security by creating digital solutions to augment our physical world. But there is a little-discussed problem that must be solved in order to deliver on this promise: the digital ‘representation’ of an object must be securely linked to its physical counterpart. Alitheon™ solves this problem by creating a trusted digital link to objects in the physical world wherever they exist — with statistical certainty.
Certainty in Uncertain Times
Alitheon brings clarity and confidence to creators, distributors and consumers amidst the greatest collapse of institutional trust in generations. Industrial scale counterfeiting, gray market products and unauthorized parts not only present a multi-trillion-dollar problem, they claim nearly a million lives every year.
Absolute Identification
The FeaturePrint service uses the object to authenticate itself to capture and store unique metadata in a fully automated process. By not relying on added physical security features such as tags and barcodes, Alitheon eliminates the possibility of counterfeiting of a registered part.
Track & Trace
The FeaturePrint service makes products traceable from raw material through manufacture and distribution, creating a more enduring and trusted relationship between creators, brands and end-users. Counterfeits and unauthorized production can be more easily identified and product recalls more targeted and efficient.
Technology
Identification, authentication and security through artificial intelligence, machine vision and commercially available optics.
What is a FeaturePrint™ Model?
All objects—even those that are indistinguishable to the human eye—have unique surface characteristics. Alitheon uses off-the-shelf cameras and proprietary software to identify and convert those unique characteristics into a digital model which we call a FeaturePrint.
How Does It Work?
An object is registered by creating a FeaturePrint model and storing it in the cloud or local database. Registered objects can be subsequently identified by creating another FeaturePrint model and comparing it to the database of registered objects. If there is a match, the object can be identified in seconds as the original and its associated metadata accessed.
Benefits of the FeaturePrint™ Service
Durable: An object can be identified even if 90% of its original surface has been removed.
Secure: A FeaturePrint model is not a photograph and cannot be reverse engineered to obtain an image of the object or person.
Unique: With 34 issued patents, Alitehon combines unique imaging technology with proprietary cloud-based software.
Accurate: We have performed millions of authentications without a single false positive.
Simple: The FeaturePrint system can be incorporated within virtually any existing manufacturing and distribution processes without disturbing throughput.
