Building the future of credential security for every document, product, and place.
T.A.W. (Tape-based Authentication Wearable) is an optical authentication tape: a thin security tape made of birefringent film layered over a polarizer. During manufacturing, fibers in the tape settle into a random structure. When light passes through the tape, that structure produces a unique optical pattern.
A standard smartphone camera can read the pattern and convert it into a digital signature. The signature is checked against the one recorded when the tape was enrolled. Because the pattern comes from the physical structure of the tape, it cannot be copied.
T.A.W. requires no chip, battery, or biometric data. It can be applied to documents, products, and physical locations.
Endo Security is funded by the University of Michigan’s Innovation Partnerships.
