THE PROBLEM
Strong security always meant complexity. Easy authentication always meant something criminals could copy. Nobody had solved both at once.
THE SOLUTION
Q-ID® doesnt make counterfeiting harder. It delivers atomic security that anyone can authenticate with the smartphone already in their pocket.

How it works

Three steps to
atomic-level proof

One smartphone. Three seconds.
Authentication.

Excitation

A smartphone flash excites the atoms on the Q-ID® surface. 

Emission

Excited atoms emit photons in the fingerprint unique to that precise atomic arrangement. The smartphone camera captures it.

Authentication

Emission matched against the registered Q-ID® in under three seconds. The result is binary. The science is absolute. Certain. Every time.
