Abstract
A method may include obtaining from a sensor coupled to an object, a first indicator of a first location of the object at a first time period; obtaining a second indicator of the first location of the object at the first time period; confirming the first location of the object at the first time period by comparing the first and second indicators to create a first record; storing the first record; obtaining, a third indicator of a second location of the object at a second time period; storing a second record comprising the third indicator of the second location; linking the first and second records to create an unalterable third record of a route of the object, the route of the object including at least the first and second locations; encrypting the unalterable third record; and sending the encrypted unalterable third record to a third party.
