In order to prevent money smuggling, diamonds will be coded

According to the report of the “Science and Technology Daily”, for many years, diamonds have been used as transnational money laundering, terrorist organizations have raised funds, and tax evasion tools. The international community still has no unified countermeasures to stop and prevent these criminal activities. To change diamonds particularly high The value of diamonds was illegally exploited. The 6-degree security company took its own countermeasures—to code and verify the diamonds entering the market.

According to reports, in the first 10 months of 2016, Chinese customs officers seized more than 130 diamond smuggling cases at the Lo Wu Control Point from Hong Kong to Shenzhen; in March 2017, the Customs seized a single person attempting to carry thousands of diamonds into Hong Kong. Shenzhen smuggling case.

To this end, 6-degree security companies launched diamond coding and verification techniques, and partner Eyar believes that the technology is expected to fundamentally solve the problems of diamond money laundering and terrorist financing. He said that the new technology can relate diamonds The information is gathered together. The information includes GIA or GIC certification (certificate number, diamond shape, size, value), C4 (carats, color, transparency and cutting), light expression (polishing degree, symmetry, fluorescence), origin As well as the biological characteristics of the diamond (polishing traces), the software then processes the information to form an encrypted two-dimensional code, and uses a special laser optical coder to engrave the encrypted two-dimensional code on the diamond.

Although this technology can curb the smuggling of diamonds, it is not known whether diamond collectors will mind the two-dimensional code that appears on the diamonds that are “lasting forever”.
