CHALLENGES

Prove integrity without cyber exposure

Today's authentication tools are either too easily forged or too dependent on networks and infrastructure to be trusted in the field.

TRADITIONAL METHODS

Lead seals, string, wax, holograms, QR codes

âš  Trivially copied. Substitution leaves no trace

âš  Authenticate a number, not the object that carries it

CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES

RFID, NFC, blockchain, connected e-Seals

âš  NFC / RFID: signals can be intercepted, cloned and bypassed, heavy integration

âš  Blockchain: certifies the data, not the physical object behind it

âš  e-Seals: dependent on the network, exposed to cyber attack

SOLUTION

A next-generation unclonable seal

â–¸ Three structural locks, one offline answer

1

Anti-counterfeit material

  • Inert seal, manufactured by 3D printing
  • Material that cannot be reverse-engineered
  • Each seal carries a unique three-dimensional structure
  • Active tamper-evident strip built into the seal: any opening leaves an irreversible mark
2

Cryptography

  • An ECDSA signature is encoded directly into the material. The private key signs at manufacture, then is destroyed
  • The public key can be shared freely. It verifies the signature, but never reproduces it
3

Authentication

  • Three elements are required: the seal, a standalone physical reader and a mobile app
  • 100% offline protocol. No secret is stored in the reader or the app
  • The secret resides in the seal itself
  • Readable by anyone, reproducible by no one

â–¸ In the field: three steps, one immediate offline answer

1

Seal placement
on the object or access point

2

Reading and decoding with material reader and application

3

Immediate certification

âś— Tampered seal

âś“ Intact seal

4

Optional: each seal scan calls your API (e.g. digital product passport)

Why it stands apart

Sovereign security with physical uniqueness, zero cloud, zero exposed secret.

  • âś“ Unique by constructionnon-clonable, non-substitutable
  • âś“ Certifies the physical objectnot just digital data
  • âś“ Zero exposed secret · Zero databaseno cyber exposure
  • âś“ Immediate proofinstant certification
  • âś“ Operational upon receiptno IT infrastructure required
  • âś“ System integration possibleconnectable to your ERPs
  • âś“ Structural physical certaintyforensic level verifiable by X-ray diffraction
  • âś“ Operational sovereigntyEuropean by origin and operates autonomously by design
  • âś“ Detection without lab or expertOK/KO in seconds, no laboratory, no analysis, no specialist required

ADAPTABILITY

A seal with unprecedented capabilities

The first customisable seal that proves, authorises and grants access.

FORM & MATERIAL

  • Cap · capsule · clip · plate · lead seal · connector - or fully bespoke.
  • Material and colour adapted to operational and environmental constraints.

READER & APP

READER & APP
  • Customisable physical reader and mobile app.
  • White-label business interface. Open API.

THE SEAL PROVES

  • Proof of origin - this product left this certified manufacturer, in this condition, on this date. Impossible to forge, impossible to substitute.
  • Proof of delivery - intact supply chain - verifiable offline by any field operator.
  • Permanent identification - (optional) the unique code is embedded in the CAD file or engraved post-production. The part carries proof of origin for life - no external seal, no network. THE SEAL PROVES

THE SEAL AUTHORISES AND GRANTS ACCESS

  • Production authorisation - one seal = one authorised part. Any overproduction yields parts that cannot be authenticated - fraud becomes structurally detectable.
  • Sensitive file access - CAD files are encrypted through the seal. Only the physical seal can decrypt them. Available in exclusive partnership with CORETECHNOLOGIE.
  • Sovereign Digital Product Passport - the seal becomes the access key to the DPP - origin, manufacturer, recipient, compliance. NIS2 and ESPR/DPP 2027 compatible.

ORDER

Pick your track - starter, volume deployment, or critical use. Direct purchase or quote, depending on the track.

No subscription, no commitment. Restock on demand.

SHIPPING

CLEWTEC ships readers, seals, public key and the iOS/Android install link.

Works without user accounts. Works without network configuration.

DEPLOYMENT

Your teams load the public key - by email, SMS, or QR code. Any channel will do, even an unsecured one. That's the nature of asymmetric cryptography: nothing sensitive is ever in transit.

Nothing sensitive is ever in transit.

OPERATIONAL

Your screen displays INTACT or TAMPERED. Binary. Definitive. No expertise required.

Once opened, a seal cannot be reused. Tampering is irreversible.
