Abstract

Customs officials have introduced the eSeal with EPC Gen 2 chips to prevent smuggling, and replace manual escorts with an automated system to improve security and efficiency. This paper, however, showed some vulnerabilities of the eSeal system. The pointed out vulnerabilities can be applied in some possible forgery attack scenarios.
