An eSeal(Electrical Seal) is an active RFID device which installed on the door of a container. The main role of the tag is to make sure the seal is not breaking by unauthorized people. Because an eSeal uses RFID system, we need to prevent eavesdrop and impersonate. Moreover, an eSeal which uses a secure protocol must not be able to duplicate. If duplication resistant property is not provide to a eSeal, an attacker may replace a object in the sealed container and reseal the container with duplicated eseal to hide breaking of the eSeal. In this paper, we provide a protocol which resist duplicate an eSeal during prevent eavesdrop and impersonation.

CSD is Active RFID based Container Security Device which is proposed by the U.S Department of Home Security. It is mounted inside the container to sense opening of the container door. ConTracer is the CSD which is developed in this research whose major features are sensing door opening status as well as history inquiring on internal environment and shock to the container by mounting the temperature/humidity/shock sensors. Moreover, its RFID frequency bandwidth uses 433MHz and 2.4GHz to correspond actively to the radio regulations used by different countries. This paper introduces the development trend of CSD, compares the ConTracer which is developed thru this research and other company's CSD, and introduces CSD System which is designed and established using ConTracer. Finally, the implemented CSD System is verified by applying the demonstration service to container distribution between Korea and China.
