Freight Equipment --> Roadside Equipment:
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.

Freight Equipment (Source Physical Object): 'Freight Equipment' represents a freight container, intermodal chassis, or trailer and provides sensory, processing, storage, and communications functions necessary to support safe, secure and efficient freight operations. It provides equipment safety data and status and can alert the appropriate systems of an incident, breach, or tamper event. It also provides accurate position information to support in-transit visibility of freight equipment.

Roadside Equipment (Destination 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.

Information Flow Security
Application Confidentiality Integrity Availability
Basis Basis Basis
Border Management Systems Low Moderate Low
The presence of electronic locks will most likely be observable by looking at the cargo doors and the other information is not sensitive in nature. This data is being reported by the containers attempting to cross the border, all the data reported by them should be verified before being trusted. Considering that, the integrity could never be a HIGH. However if this data is incorrect often, it will be of little use to the system. If this data is missing, the system cannot make a decision about how to handle that vehicle. However, there are multiple chances for this data to be transmitted and received. Additionally, if the vehicle is not pre-approved it will be handled by border security.
