Trust & Process

Trust & Process

From the moment you hand over your data to the moment you read it back — every step is designed for security, transparency, and confidence.

Encrypted upload and secure data transfer process

Step 1

Secure Data Transfer

Your data is the most valuable thing you'll entrust to us — so we treat the transfer with the same level of security as the crystal itself. Whether you upload through our encrypted portal or ship physical media directly, your files are handled in an air-gapped environment from the moment they arrive.

  • End-to-end encrypted file upload portal
  • Physical media shipping option for sensitive data
  • Air-gapped receiving environment — no internet exposure
  • Data securely erased from all transfer media after encoding

Step 2

Certificate of Authority

Every crystal comes with a formal Certificate of Authority — a documented record of exactly what data has been encoded, when it was written, and by whom. This is your proof of provenance: an auditable, tamper-evident record that travels with the crystal for its entire lifespan.

  • Itemised manifest of all encoded files and data sets
  • Timestamped encoding record with unique crystal identifier
  • Cryptographic hash of the source data for independent verification
  • Physical and digital certificate formats available
Data verification and quality check process

Step 3

Data Verification

After encoding, the crystal is immediately read back and the retrieved data is compared against the original — bit for bit. This verification step confirms that the data stored in the crystal is complete, accurate, and exactly as it should be. Nothing is shipped until verification passes.

  • Full read-back after every encoding session
  • Bit-for-bit comparison against source data
  • Verification report included with your Certificate of Authority
  • Failed verifications trigger automatic re-encoding

Step 4

Read Service

Your data is encoded for eternity — but you may need to access it today. Our read service uses precision optical equipment to retrieve the data stored in your crystal and deliver it back to you in any standard digital format. Available on demand, as many times as you need.

  • On-demand data retrieval from any 5D Memory Crystal™
  • Output delivered in standard digital formats
  • Secure return shipping and handling
  • Future-proofed — visual decoding instructions encoded on the crystal itself

Looking Ahead

Continuous Improvement

More Trust Services Coming

We are continuously developing new services to increase your confidence in our process and product — from expanded verification options to long-term custodial services. This page will grow as we do.
