TRU is the enforcement layer for physical goods.
Digital systems have identity built in. Physical goods don't. TRU assigns every unit a cryptographically verifiable identity and resolves every interaction to an enforced outcome.
CORE MOTION
unit identity → rail verification → enforced outcomes
Every TRU deployment uses the same foundation. What changes is the failure mode you're solving.
Unit-Identity Resolution for Physical Goods
QR codes identify links. RFID tracks inventory. Serial numbers track records. TRU enforces unit truth — bound to hardware and resolved in real time.
TRU is a control plane.
- • Hardware-bound Unit Identity (UID)
- • Cryptographic verification
- • Stateful lifecycle resolution
- • Deterministic enforcement
How TRU works
UID issued and bound to secure NFC/RFID hardware.
Identity is cryptographically tied to the physical unit.
Tap resolves UID and lifecycle state.
Allow, restrict, flag, deny — deterministically.
Technical architecture
TRU is built for adversarial conditions. The unit must prove itself — not its box, label, or paperwork.
Tap resolution flow
- 1) Secure tag responds with UID + proof
- 2) TRU verifies cryptographic authenticity
- 3) Lifecycle + policy evaluated
- 4) Enforced outcome returned
Flexible Form Factors, Standard Manufacturing
TRU is not limited to a single tag size, shape, or construction. The TRU Tag Standard is a reference implementation — not a constraint.
TRU works across inlays, labels, hard tags, on-metal tags, embedded components, and custom geometries.
Manufacturing Compatibility
- • Compatible with standard NFC / RFID ICs
- • Works with existing inlay & label manufacturing lines
- • No proprietary fabrication equipment required
- • Supports custom sizes, shapes, and materials
- • TRU enforcement lives at the rail, not the tag
Enforced outcomes
Cryptographic unit verification.
Same unit, correct lifecycle, enforced eligibility.
Eligibility enforced by unit history.
Allowed / restricted / flagged by policy.
Off-channel units identified instantly.
Optional verified content tied to real units.
Turn identity into enforcement.
If your business depends on authenticity, eligibility, resale, or returns, blind trust is no longer defensible.
