Description

La présente invention concerne un système de sécurisation d'un scellé.The present invention relates to a system for securing a seal.

On sait que les scellés sont utilisés pour assurer la sécurisation du transport de marchandises en permettant de verrouiller par exemple des conte5 neurs, des remorques, etc. Le problème qui se pose est l'intégrité de ce scellé et son éventuelle manipulation. On sait en effet que ces scellés peuvent être remplacés en cas de fraude. Le but de l'invention est de résoudre ces problèmes.  We know that seals are used to secure the transport of goods by making it possible to lock, for example, containers, trailers, etc. The problem that arises is the integrity of this seal and its possible handling. We know that these seals can be replaced in the event of fraud. The object of the invention is to solve these problems.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un système de sécurisation d'un scellé, caractérisé en ce que le scellé comporte une mémoire électronique intégrée associée à des moyens d'échange d'informations avec un outil externe pour acquérir les informations d'identification du futur propriétaire du scellé et les 15 écrire en mémoire afin de permettre une limitation de l'accès à au moins certaines zones de cette mémoire, à un détenteur des informations d'identification du propriétaire du scellé.  To this end, the subject of the invention is a system for securing a seal, characterized in that the seal comprises an integrated electronic memory associated with means for exchanging information with an external tool for acquiring information of identification of the future owner of the seal and write them in memory in order to allow a limitation of access to at least certain zones of this memory, to a holder of the identification information of the owner of the seal.

Suivant d'autres caractéristiques: - la mémoire comporte des informations d'identification de celle-ci et 20 l'outil comporte des moyens de lecture de ces informations d'identification, pour permettre d'écrire de façon visible ces informations sur le scellé afin de permettre un contrôle visuel du scellé; - les moyens d'échange d'informations comprennent des moyens à transpondeur. L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels: - la Fig.1 représente un schéma synoptique illustrant la structure générale d'un système de sécurisation selon l'invention; et - la Fig.2 représente un organigramme illustrant une étape de lecture/écriture d'informations mise en oeuvre dans un tel système.  According to other characteristics: the memory includes identification information thereof and the tool comprises means for reading this identification information, to make it possible to write this information visibly on the seal in order to allow visual inspection of the seal; - The information exchange means include transponder means. The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the appended drawings, in which: - FIG. 1 represents a block diagram illustrating the general structure of a security system according to the invention; and - Fig.2 shows a flowchart illustrating a step of reading / writing information implemented in such a system.

On a en effet représenté sur la figure 1, un système de sécurisation d'un scellé qui est désigné par la référence générale 1 sur cette figure.  FIG. 1 shows a system for securing a seal which is designated by the general reference 1 in this figure.

En fait, ce scellé comporte une mémoire électronique intégrée désignée par la référence générale 2 qui est associée à des moyens 3 d'échange d'informations avec des moyens complémentaires 4 d'un outil de lecture/écriture d'informations externe 5 à ce scellé.  In fact, this seal comprises an integrated electronic memory designated by the general reference 2 which is associated with means 3 for exchanging information with complementary means 4 of a tool for reading / writing information external 5 to this seal .

Cet outil est mis à la disposition d'utilisateurs, pour accéder à la mémoire du scellé, afin d'y lire ou d'y écrire des informations.  This tool is made available to users to access the seal memory in order to read or write information there.

Dans le système de sécurisation selon l'invention, il est mis en oeuvre une phase d'initialisation du scellé, cette phase étant illustrée sur la figure 2 et consistant, par exemple lors de l'étape 6, à acquérir des informations 10 d'identification du futur propriétaire du scellé.  In the security system according to the invention, a phase of initialization of the seal is implemented, this phase being illustrated in FIG. 2 and consisting, for example during step 6, in acquiring information 10 of identification of the future owner of the seal.

Ces informations d'identification sont par exemple acquises par l'outil 5 à partir d'un numéro d'identification ou d'habilitation du futur propriétaire du scellé.  This identification information is for example acquired by the tool 5 from an identification or authorization number of the future owner of the seal.

Une fois acquises, ces informations d'identification du propriétaire sont 15 transmises par l'outil à la mémoire 2, pour y être inscrites de façon permanente.  Once acquired, this owner identification information is transmitted by the tool to the memory 2, to be permanently recorded there.

Cette écriture en mémoire est illustrée par l'étape 7 sur la figure 2.  This writing in memory is illustrated by step 7 in FIG. 2.

Ces informations d'identification inscrites en mémoire du scellé, permettent ensuite lors de différentes opérations d'accès, telles que par exemple désignées par la référence générale 8, de restreindre et de contrôler les accès à 20 la mémoire et à tout le moins à certaines zones de celle-ci, à un détenteur des informations d'identification du propriétaire.  These identification information recorded in the seal's memory then make it possible, during various access operations, such as for example designated by the general reference 8, to restrict and control access to the memory and at least to certain areas thereof, to a holder of owner identification information.

Par ailleurs, une mémoire de ce type est associée à un numéro d'identification interne.  Furthermore, a memory of this type is associated with an internal identification number.

L'outil 5 est également adapté pour lire ce numéro d'identification in25 terne à partir de la mémoire.  Tool 5 is also suitable for reading this dull identification number 25 from memory.

Ce numéro peut alors être écrit par exemple de façon visible sur le scellé comme cela est illustré par la référence 9 sur la figure 1, pour permettre un contrôle visuel du scellé.  This number can then be written for example visibly on the seal as illustrated by the reference 9 in Figure 1, to allow visual inspection of the seal.

Lors de l'utilisation de ce scellé, les différentes tentatives d'accès à ce30 lui-ci donnent lieu à l'écriture d'un identifiant de la personne souhaitant accéder au scellé.  When using this seal, the various attempts to access it give rise to the writing of an identifier of the person wishing to access the seal.

En effet, ce scellé et sa mémoire intégrée, ne peuvent être accédés qu'après avoir transmis à la mémoire, des informations d'identification de l'accédant, ces informations d'identification étant alors automatiquement inscrites en mémoire.  Indeed, this seal and its integrated memory, can only be accessed after having transmitted to the memory, identification information of the acceding party, this identification information then being automatically written into memory.

Ceci est par exemple le cas des différents intervenants d'une chaîne de transport de marchandises.  This is for example the case of the various participants in a freight transport chain.

On trouve alors dans la mémoire du scellé les informations d'identification non seulement du scellé, du propriétaire de celui-ci, mais également d'identification du conteneur, du contenu, des moyens de transport, de la personne ayant contrôlé le chargement, et éventuellement des organismes de douanes des pays d'émission et de réception des marchandises, de même que 10 des informations d'identification des différentes personnes ayant manipulé ces marchandises lors de leur transport, ce qui permet d'assurer la traçabilité du chemin parcouru par les marchandises.  We then find in the seal memory the identification information not only of the seal, of the owner thereof, but also of identification of the container, the content, the means of transport, the person who checked the load, and possibly customs bodies of the countries of emission and reception of the goods, as well as information identifying the various people who handled these goods during their transport, which makes it possible to ensure the traceability of the path traveled by the merchandise.

Bien entendu, l'outil peut également être associé à des moyens de mise à jour de bases de données correspondantes, accessibles pour contrôler 15 que ce qui est annoncé par le scellé correspond bien ce qui a été stocké au fur et à mesure de l'acheminement des marchandises.  Of course, the tool can also be associated with means for updating corresponding databases, accessible to check that what is announced by the seal corresponds to what has been stored as and when movement of goods.

Bien entendu, et de façon classique, les différentes informations portées par ce scellé, peuvent être à accès restreint ou non en fonction du degré d'habilitation de la personne souhaitant accéder à telle ou telle information.  Of course, and in a conventional manner, the various pieces of information carried by this seal, may or may not have restricted access depending on the degree of authorization of the person wishing to access such or such information.

En effet, il est tout à fait possible de limiter l'accès à certaines informations pour telle ou telle personne, alors que l'accès complet à toutes les informations stockées peut être délivré à des autorités administratives, douanières, policières, etc...  Indeed, it is quite possible to limit access to certain information for such and such a person, while full access to all stored information can be granted to administrative, customs, police, etc. authorities.

Bien entendu, d'autres modes de réalisation de ce système peuvent 25 être envisagés.  Of course, other embodiments of this system can be envisaged.
