Summary

COI synopsis: New ways of handling information that simplify and speed things up. And the key, in each case, is a code! A new paint that contains a hidden code unique to every user. A minute dab will allow tools and equipment to be immediately identified as surely as with the owner’s fingerprint. But this is one fingerprint that can’t be wiped away.
