Roadside Equipment --> Border Inspection System:
container seal status

Definitions

container seal status (Information Flow): The status of an electronic seal on a container, indicating sealing time, location, and authority, and any openings or tampering.

Roadside Equipment (Source Physical Object): 'Roadside Equipment' (RSE) represents the Connected Vehicle roadside devices that are used to send messages to, and receive messages from, nearby vehicles using Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) or other alternative wireless communications technologies. Communications with adjacent field equipment and back office centers that monitor and control the RSE are also supported. This device operates from a fixed position and may be permanently deployed or a portable device that is located temporarily in the vicinity of a traffic incident, road construction, or a special event. It includes a processor, data storage, and communications capabilities that support secure communications with passing vehicles, other field equipment, and centers.

Border Inspection System (Destination Physical Object): 'Border Inspection System' represents data systems used at the border for the inspection of people or goods. It supports immigration, customs (trade), agricultural, and FDA inspections as applicable. It includes sensors and surveillance systems to identify and classify drivers and their cargo as they approach a border crossing, the systems used to interface with the back-office administration systems and provide information on status of the crossing or events.

Security

This information flow triple is in the following applications with the following security levels.

Information Flow Security
Application Confidentiality Integrity Availability
Basis Basis Basis
Border Management Systems Moderate Moderate Low
Knowing which containers are sealed and not as likely to be checked could be useful to a malicious individual. However there will not be much time for said malicious individuals to actually take advantage of the information. Due to the nature of this information, it is impossible to be certain that what it states is true, thus it cannot have a HIGH integrity. However, it should be as accurate as possible. If the vehicle is not pre-approved it will be handled by border security. Therefore, it is not clear that there is any security risk from failures of availability; more availability allows the operator to benefit from the processing efficiency gains associated with this application but any level of availability is acceptable from a security point of view.
