Abstract
Existing tamper-indicating seals have serious security vulnerabilities that are not automatically eliminated with the use of high-technology. Existing intrusion detectors have significant problems as well, especially when used to monitor moving cargo. The use of an anti-evidence strategy and a technique we call “town crier” monitoring can potentially overcome these problems and offer better security.
