Counterfeit-electronics custody for DFARS 252.246-7008 and CMMC.
Aeroz binds unit-level identity to each part and writes append-only signed custody that holds across the four-tier prime supply chain — EPCIS-native, defensible at audit.
Counterfeit microelectronics enter multi-tier defense supply chains where oversight is thinnest. Provenance that looks intact at the prime breaks at the handoffs between subtiers.
Remarked, recycled, and cloned components enter through lower tiers. Paperwork follows the part; it does not prove the part itself is genuine.
Each handoff between Tier 1 through Tier 4 is a seam. Provenance reconstructed from disconnected records leaves gaps an adversary can exploit.
DFARS 252.246-7008 demands a traceable, authorized-source chain. Pulling that together after the fact is slow and contestable under audit.
Aeroz gives each part a unit-level chip identity and writes append-only, signed custody for every handoff — engineered to survive all four tiers and map cleanly to DFARS 252.246-7008 and CMMC, on EPCIS 2.0.
Unit-level identity
Signed custody
Four-tier handoffs
A tamper-resistant chip binds an AES-128 identity to the individual part — so authentication checks the component, not just its paperwork.
Every handoff writes a signed event to an append-only ledger — no UPDATE, DELETE, or TRUNCATE for any role, at any tier.
Custody stays continuous from Tier 4 supplier to Tier 1 prime, closing the seams where counterfeit parts enter today.
Custody events are EPCIS 2.0 from the start, so the chain integrates with existing systems and exports cleanly for DFARS and CMMC evidence.
For defense engagements, Aeroz operates the same verification layer under its defense-specific brand. Visit ladefense.us for the defense-focused presentation.
Every part verification — where, when, pass or fail — on the append-only log.
Each handoff from Tier 4 to Tier 1 as a signed EPCIS 2.0 event.
