Supply Chain Integrity Verification System and Method

A method for verifying supply chain integrity, the method comprising:

• geo-locator devices calculating hashed iterations of seed numbers using a one way hash function, generating environmental measurements via one or more sensors, encrypting the environmental measurements and hashed iterations of the seed numbers, and storing the encrypted environmental measurements and hashed iterations of the seed numbers in memory;
• and
• a location and verification processor retrieving and storing the environmental measurements and hashed iterations of the seed numbers from the geo-locator devices, and determining whether the environmental measurements are corrupted by independently calculating the series of hashed iterations of the seed numbers using the one-way hash functions and comparing the independently calculated series with the series of hashed iterations of the same seed numbers received from the geo-locator devices.

A method for verifying supply chain integrity, the method comprising:

• a location and verification processor storing shipment information associated with geo-locator devices included in shipments;
• the geo-locator devices generating environmental measurements via one or more sensors and storing the environmental measurements in memory;
• the location and verification processor retrieving the environmental measurements from the geo-locator devices and calculating location histories of the geo-locator devices by comparing the environmental measurements to publicly available environmental measurement and prediction databases and determining whether the environmental measurements retrieved from the geo-locator devices are corrupted by comparing the location histories of geo-locator devices in the same shipment.

A method for verifying supply chain integrity, the method comprising:

• a location and verification processor storing shipment information associated with geo-locator devices included in shipments, the shipment information further including expected route information;
• the geo-locator devices generating environmental measurements via one or more sensors and storing the environmental measurements in memory;
• the location and verification processor retrieving the environmental measurements from the geo-locator devices and calculating location histories of the geo-locator devices by comparing the environmental measurements to publicly available environmental measurement and prediction databases and determining whether the shipments in which the geo-locator devices were included were diverted by comparing the location histories associated with the geo-locator devices with the expected location information associated with the geo-locator devices.
