As someone who works in quality assurance, you would have high standards for testing anticounterfeiting systems performance. The following is what I think makes QDC Ledger the only choice for a permanent anticounterfeiting blockchain solution. It is an overview based on what QMC and other blockchain sources have reported, and my conclusions are my speculation.
Any automotive part can be tagged by printing or imprinting a unique code which can be read and transferred into cryptographic code in a blockchain. Two problems arise
1. Blockchain can be hacked. The most visible examples of that are Bitcoin thefts out of their owners pockets.
2. Sometime in the future, Quantum Computers programmed to break cryptographic keys securing blockchain will be able to hack them. While not an immediate threat today, all blockchain users have to prepare for this inevitability. Other than QDX Ledger, to my knowledge, all blockchain anticounterfeiting solutions are some form of cryptographic-based.
QDX Ledger offers a completely different anticounterfeiting solution.
1. There are dozens of billions of variations in unique colors and patterns possible with quantum dots imprinted on a part or tag, much more than any other system. QMC has the capability to make quantum dots in high volume of different materials, in all necessary wavelengths.
2. The biggest difference that separates QDX Ledger from other anticounterfeiting blockchain is the QD are not simply transferred into a cryptographic code. A QD based tag can have dozens of billions of permutations, in specific color or wavelength, combinations or numbers, patterns, etc. I would say cryptographic-based vs. QDX Ledger is like the difference between watching a black and white movie and a 4K HDR 3D color movie.
3. So here's the second difference. QMC says their QD tags are uniquely "Registered" on QDX Ledger non-cryptographically. QMC has not made public how this is accomplished.
My best interpretation is that it is somewhat like taking a photograph of a one-in-multiple-billions 3D image. (I am using the 3D concept only as a way to imagine the difference between the two blockchain types.)
4. The 3D image is a "Physical" representation that is somehow registered in QDX Ledger (perhaps as an object? I don't know.) compared to a cryptographic flat two dimension 2D code. The 2D tag can be input and transformed into cryptographic code by algorithms.
5. QMC Ledger combines the most unique and uncopyable identifier with a completely new system to input the identifier and read it, that cannot be hacked cryptographically, insuring that this is the one anticounterfeiting blockchain that will resist the rise of the age of Quantum Computers.
QDX Ledger is built on the Capstan Platform, a DLT created by QMC CTO Jay Williams. QMC has enhanced the DLT by integration of both DAML and Hyperledger Sawtooth, to increase ease of coding and smart contract formation, as well as speed and security.
