Dust Identity
DUST Identity (Newton, Massachusetts; founded 2018 as an MIT spinout) binds physical objects to trusted digital records using the Diamond Unclonable Security Tag — an applied coating of engineered nano-diamonds in a polymer matrix that forms an unclonable optical fingerprint. The DUST Platform (DICE) tracks each marked item as a "Thread": a digital record carrying typed fields, files, physical identifiers (DUST, QR, barcode, Data Matrix, NFC), an immutable event history, and Fabric lineage across slices, shipments and organization boundaries. It is used for aerospace and defense raw-material traceability, secure electronics, certified-pre-owned authentication, return-fraud detection, security labeling and high-value asset identity. The company publishes a public OpenAPI 3.1 contract for the DUST API (apid) covering 177 operations, a Starlight documentation site, llms.txt, and two provider-authored agent skills.
Dust Identity publishes 30 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Auth API, Bundles API, Certificate Forms API, and 27 more. Tagged areas include Authentication, Identity, Supply Chain, Traceability, and Provenance.
The Dust Identity catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Dust Identity’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, signup flow, and 27 more developer resources.
