The supply chain is broken. Not metaphorically. Literally.
Every year, counterfeiters move $4.7 trillion through global supply networks. Aerospace operators discover stolen parts too late. Luxury brands hemorrhage margin to undetectable knockoffs. Marketplaces lose customer trust to diverted goods.
We built DUST Identity to solve this. And VivaTech is exactly where this conversation needs to happen.
The Authentication Paradox
Digital trust infrastructure has failed at the physical layer. Blockchain doesn't stop a counterfeit part from entering a supply chain. QR codes get replicated. Certificates get forged. Digital seals can be spoofed.
The problem is fundamental: we've been trying to authenticate trust through information systems when the fraud happens at the object itself.
A stolen aerospace fastener looks identical to an original. A diverted luxury component carries the same markings. A counterfeit good passes visual and initial verification tests.
You cannot authenticate what you cannot distinguish.
The DUST Difference
We embed unclonable physical identities directly into critical materials using engineered diamond particles. Every part becomes its own proof of origin. Every product carries inviolable evidence of authenticity.
Visit us at VivaTech Paris 2026 to see how this works. We're demonstrating the full DUST ecosystem, including:
Physical Authentication via DUST TagsOur engineered diamond particles are optically unique, impossible to replicate, and embedded at the material level. Learn more about our technology at https://dustidentity.com/technology.
Digital Verification via TheseusOur AI-powered document authentication platform validates supply chain provenance and material traceability. Explore the Theseus platform at https://dustidentity.com/theseus.
Where This Matters Most
Aerospace & Defense
The AOG Technics fraud case exposed a brutal reality: stolen parts enter the aerospace supply chain and nobody detects them until they fail mid-flight. DUST is already piloting with Airbus, PSD Aero, Mecachrome, and Aubert & Duval.

Our pilot report on the Theseus platform covers raw material traceability from component manufacturer through aftermarket validation. This is live. This is working.
Luxury & Brand Protection
Counterfeit luxury goods cost brands billions in margin and reputation damage. Optical verification fails. Holograms get replicated. Serial numbers get cloned.
DUST embeds authentication directly into the material. A luxury component either carries the authentic diamond fingerprint or it doesn't. No ambiguity. No second-guessing.

Marketplace Integrity
Diverted goods, grey market products, and counterfeits erode marketplace trust. Platforms need to verify authenticity at scale without slowing transactions.
DUST provides real-time authentication that buyers can verify instantly. No blockchain verification delays. No dependency on paper records. The product speaks for itself.
VivaTech Is the Right Room
VivaTech brings together innovators, supply chain leaders, brand executives, and technology builders who all face the same core challenge: proving authenticity in a world designed to deceive.
The conversation isn't about better compliance systems or more digital layers. It's about embedding trust at the source.
It's about making counterfeiting physically impossible.
