Fiber Lock provides fingerprint-unique confidence that an intact seal is the original. Seal bundle is constructed of randomly positioned, acrylic optical fibers. Modified camera, encased in hardened plastic housing, provides digital image verification. Once the seal is applied to a sensitive security application, the seal body is inserted into a slot in the verifiers housing. The verifier records a micrograph (up-close photo) of the severed ends of the fiber optic bundle. Each individual, fiber optic strand is as unique to that seal installation, as fingerprints are to a person. Digital image can be forwarded to shipments destination.
