Method for establishing a secure protocol for pairing an RFID tag and asset monitoring device within a container suite

摘要

The present invention provides a method for automatically pairing a first container monitoring device equipped with a RFID reader and a second container in which stored data is embedded within an RFID tag or data storage device. The present invention provides a protocol for secure and supervised access between the first container monitoring device and the second container monitoring device as prescribed from an authorizing remote monitoring station.

主权项

1. A method for establishing a secure protocol for allowing communications between at least a first container monitoring device and a second container with stored embedded data and a container monitoring device, the method comprising:
reading stored embedded data pertaining to the second container; transmitting a first message from the first container monitoring device to a remote monitoring station requesting pairing with the second container based on information collected from embedded data pertaining to the second container; verifying identity and location of the second container; determining the level of authorized access between containers; authenticating the protocol for communicating with the second container; sending protocol procedures for pairing to the first container; implementing protocol procedures between devices; establishing communication between the first container monitoring device and the second container monitoring device; receiving a responsive signal and a message from the second container; relaying the message to the remote monitoring station; and applying back-end analysis to data.
