Abstract

Radioactive applications are employed in many aspects of our life, such as industry, medicine and agriculture. One of the most important issues that need to be addressed is the security of the movement of radioactive sources. There are many threats that may occur during the transportation of the radioactive sources from one place to another. This paper investigates the security issues in the transportation of the radioactive sources. Thus, it is an attempt to build a secure, real time freight tracking system in which the radioactive source can be under inspection and control at all times during transportation from the shipment provider to the end user. Thus, we proposed a novel lightweight mutual authentication protocol to be used for securing the transportation of radioactive materials. Also, the security requirements for the proposed protocol were verified using the Scyther tool.
