Abstract

A security sealing system providing tamper detection. Including a self locking flexible material strip bearing indicia and an electronic system. The electronic system includes at least a transponder, having two separated subunits. The transponder is accessible when intact by a wireless reader means, indicating the intactness of said transponder and reading the transponder'"'"'s memory.

Claims

1. A security sealing system providing tamper detection, said system comprising:

a self locking flexible material strip bearing indicia;

an electronic system encased in said strip, said electronic system including at least a transponder, forming at least two separated subunits;

wherein said transponder is accessible when intact by a wireless reader means, indicating the intactness of said transponder and reading the transponder memory.

2. A security sealing system providing tamper detection as in claim 1 wherein said self connecting flexible material is a plastic material.

4. A security sealing system providing tamper detection as in claim 1, wherein at least a part of the electric conductors of which is made of easily oxydisable metal.

3. A method for validating the intactness of a security seal associated with a transponder comprising the steps of:

interrogating said security seal by using a transponder reader within a prescribed distance from said transponder;

receiving a response from said transponder;

interpreting said reception as a validation of intactness, and

recording an ID number associated with said seal.
