2. Background Over 90% of the world’s cargo moves via container [9] Over 90% of the world’s cargo moves via container [9] Container security could be improved Container security could be improved Requirements: Requirements: Detect breech of container Detect breech of container Environmental conditions (humidity, temperature, shock, vibration, etc.) Environmental conditions (humidity, temperature, shock, vibration, etc.) Location of container (ship, rail, truck) Location of container (ship, rail, truck) Power lifetime of 30,000 hours Power lifetime of 30,000 hours Etc. Etc. Dept. of Homeland Security developed the Advanced Container Security Device (ACSD)[2] guidelines Dept. of Homeland Security developed the Advanced Container Security Device (ACSD)[2] guidelines

3. Problems Ability to detect events/intrusions is needed for container security Ability to detect events/intrusions is needed for container security Small containers require security too Small containers require security too Containers must be tracked through various environments through which they travel Containers must be tracked through various environments through which they travel Smaller containers also travel via airplane Smaller containers also travel via airplane Limited battery power requires intelligently setting the reporting frequencies Limited battery power requires intelligently setting the reporting frequencies Not all sensors are created equal when it comes to detecting events/intrusions Not all sensors are created equal when it comes to detecting events/intrusions

5. Goals Analyze sensor data collected across different environments (airplane vs. automobile) Analyze sensor data collected across different environments (airplane vs. automobile) Identify events in each of the environments (loading/unloading of container, start of engine, speed/acceleration, etc.) Identify events in each of the environments (loading/unloading of container, start of engine, speed/acceleration, etc.) Detect intrusions in each of the environments Detect intrusions in each of the environments Determine which sensors are more helpful for intrusion detection given the environmental settings and prior events Determine which sensors are more helpful for intrusion detection given the environmental settings and prior events

Experimental Setup 3 Containers 3 Containers ≈1ft 3 each ≈1ft 3 each Slightly insulated Slightly insulated 1 Stargate [3] and PDA 1 Stargate [3] and PDA 5 Motes 5 Motes 2 Telos B – temp, humidity, microphone, visible/IR light 2 Telos B – temp, humidity, microphone, visible/IR light 2 MTS310 – temp, light, microphone, 2-axis accelerometer, 2-axis magnetometer 2 MTS310 – temp, light, microphone, 2-axis accelerometer, 2-axis magnetometer 1 MTS300 – temperature, light, microphone 1 MTS300 – temperature, light, microphone Configuration: Configuration: Container 1: 1 MTS310 & 1 Telos B Container 1: 1 MTS310 & 1 Telos B Container 2: 1 MTS300 & 1 Stargate Container 2: 1 MTS300 & 1 Stargate Container 3: 1 MTS310 & 1 Telos B Container 3: 1 MTS310 & 1 Telos B

9. Data Collection and Results Opened 1 of the 3 containers for 10 second intervals in each environment Opened 1 of the 3 containers for 10 second intervals in each environment Same container opened each time (Container 1) Same container opened each time (Container 1) Container opened at different points in time (e.g. on the ground, in the vehicle, after engine started, while moving slowly, while moving quickly, etc.) Container opened at different points in time (e.g. on the ground, in the vehicle, after engine started, while moving slowly, while moving quickly, etc.) Took note of the time when intrusion or other event occurred Took note of the time when intrusion or other event occurred Compared the sensor readings with the recorded intrusion times Compared the sensor readings with the recorded intrusion times

10. Humidity drops when intrusion occurs Temp also drops but its not as apparent as humidity Humidity was the one of the best indicators for intrusion detection

11. TSR (a.k.a visible and infrared light) was good but in the plane, the results were less informative PAR (a.k.a visible light) is a very good indicator

12. Thermistor in Container 2 increased steadily because of the heat given off from the Stargate MTS 300/310 light sensor gave less helpful results when compared to the Telos sensor boards

14. What I Learned Motes needed a higher reporting frequency Motes needed a higher reporting frequency Regardless of application, some sensors should report more frequently than others Regardless of application, some sensors should report more frequently than others E.g. changes in temp. are slower than changes in acceleration E.g. changes in temp. are slower than changes in acceleration More motes are needed to reduce noise in the data More motes are needed to reduce noise in the data Need to be careful that the motes are stationed level when dealing with 2-axis sensors to prevent incorrect readings caused by tilt Need to be careful that the motes are stationed level when dealing with 2-axis sensors to prevent incorrect readings caused by tilt
