Ubi-Post briefcase: a content-oriented security solution for high value shipping
Résumé
Sending sensitive documents or parcels over a delivery service can be a hazardous operation. Goods can be picked up by a fake courier, genuine items can be swapped with copies, the parcel may be received or opened by someone else than the supposed recipient and some items can be missing at the delivery time. As some very high value items are sent over such services, security is critical. This paper introduces the Ubi-Post briefcase system, a pervasive content-oriented security solution for high value shipping based on the Ubi-Tree physical object coupling software and RFID equipment.
