Envision a container filled with tens of thousands of metal screws made from the same mold. Is it possible to tell one from another?
Yes, with NEC Corp.’s “fingerprint of things” technology — a new development in the field of forensic authentication.
“Our company has been developing authentication technologies (to recognize) facial and fingerprint (features), aiming to become the top firm in this field,” said Rui Ishiyama, principal researcher at NEC’s information and media processing laboratory. “Now we’ve turned our attention to such technology for objects.”
Tokyo-based NEC claimed in November that it had developed the world’s first technology that can identify common industrial parts like bolts and zippers through microscopic surface patterns.
Although mass-produced products look smooth and identical to the naked eye, they are different under the microscope because even items cast from the same molds bear unique surface patterns.
