Static tracking codes are vulnerable to cloning. Drift Systems implements State-Evolving Identity. Every scan cryptographically mutates the label's state, rendering previous clones stale and detectable instantly.
In this simulation, you play the role of an attacker trying to clone a high-value shipping label. Observe how the Scan-Evolve property defeats the clone automatically.
How it works: When you SCAN the original, its internal state evolves (Rolling Code). If you CLONE the state before the scan, your clone holds the *old* state. When the clone is presented later, the network rejects it as a "Replay/Stale" attempt.
Standard static tags (EPC Gen2) are easily cloned. Drift-enabled tags update their nonce on every read power-cycle. A cloner copies the current nonce, but cannot compute the next one without the internal drift recurrence key.
Scanners can verify authenticity without a continuous cloud connection. By synchronizing the drift state between the reader and the tag, genuine goods are verified mathematically, even in air-gapped warehouses.
Blockchains are too slow and public for high-volume logistics. Drift tracks custody via point-to-point state handover. Privacy is preserved because only the authorized next-hop scanner can predict the valid next state.
Even if a tag is physically dissected and the key extracted, past states cannot be reverse-computed. The "One-Way" nature of the arithmetic drift ensures the history of the supply chain remains immutable.
