A computer-implemented method includes receiving transit information from a first data logger, wherein the first data logger is associated with a first shipment. The method identifies a first user based on an identifier associated with the first shipment. The method queries the first user for credentials for verification. Responsive to determining the received credentials for verification from the first user match the credentials of record, the method sends the received transit information to the first user.

Encrypted transit information for shipments

A method and computer program product for implementing the method, where the method comprises obtaining boot dependencies among a plurality of systems, wherein a boot dependency identifies a dependent system, a service system that provides a service to the dependent system, a provide state of the service system, and a need state of the dependent system that requires the service system to have reached the provide state. The method further comprises obtaining historical measurements of the time periods between states for each of the systems. Then, during a process of booting the plurality of systems, the method initiates boot of each dependent system at a time that is determined, based on the historical measurements, to allow the dependent system to reach the need state no earlier than the time at which the service system is determined, based on the historical measurements, to reach the provide state.
