Third-Party Logistics Information System Security Measures
Publication: International Conference on Transportation Engineering 2009
Abstract
Fast, exact and safe information is an important factor that has effect on Third-party logistics companies' development. Security-information is more and more significant in the information system. The secure network communications should be built between client and 3PL, in order to protect data from missing, altering and having error-code. It could ensure information's secrecy, integrality, non-repudiation and authentication of different users. Firstly, Secure Hash Algorithm is used in transferring data to add data-summary code. Then both sides will find the error of information. Secondly, the data will be encrypted to enhance its ability of defending attack, and avoid that secrets was stolen lawlessly. Thirdly, by setting up Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Certificate Authority (CA), the identity-authentication module is added in the system, which prevents hostile supposititiousness. Lastly, the equipments should be put in effective protection, to keep away from electromagnetism leak and physical damage. It is hoped that those measures clients' information of production and distribution is transferred safely and effectively and protected from leak.
