Abstract
An authenticated container access method includes selecting both a destination node for a shipping container positioned at a contemporaneous node and also a next node selected on a path from the contemporaneous node to the destination node. The method additionally includes writing both the next node and the destination node in an origin token along with an identification of an authorized individual enabled to access the shipping container, and then both storing the origin token in a computing device affixed to the shipping container and also transmitting the origin token to a computer at the next node. A request to access the shipping container is later received in the computing device and the token, extracted from the request. The tokens are compared and access to the shipping container permitted on condition that an identification value in the extracted token matches the identification of the authorized individual in the origin token.
