Abstract
An apparatus includes a tester to detect a biological signature of a biological sample, a processor, and a memory operably coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions to cause the processor to receive an indication of the biological signature from the tester, and to generate, using a smart contract and through communication with a distributed ledger, a cryptographic token including a digital identifier based on the biological signature. The cryptographic token is transmitted to a remote processor for verification of the biological sample, in response to receiving the cryptographic token. The tester can detect the biological signature within a predetermined test duration that is less than a DNA sequencing duration associated with the biological sample, and the biological signature has a data precision sufficient to uniquely identify the biological sample from a plurality of biological samples.
