Intermodal Shipping Security; what you don’t know could be costly

Session Description:

Tamper Indicative Devices (i.e., seals) are often used to verify the integrity of cargo containers and by extension the load inside the container. We will discuss methods, results and potential applications of Argonne National Laboratory’s vulnerability assessments on tamper indicative devices. The discussion will also include concepts to potentially reduce various liabilities by offering more secure containers via tamper indicative devices.

Speaker(s):

Jon S. Warner, Ph.D., is the manager of the Secure Systems Laboratory and before that was a Systems Engineer with the Vulnerability Assessment Team at Argonne National Laboratory from 2007-2015. From 2002-2007 he served as a Technical Staff Member with the Vulnerability Assessment Team at Los Alamos National Laboratory. His research interests include vulnerability assessments, microprocessor and rf applications, nuclear safeguards, GPS spoofing & countermeasures, and developing novel security devices. Jon received B.S. degrees in Physics and Business Management from Southern Oregon University (1994), and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from Portland State University (1998 & 2002).
