Abstract: ABSTRACT An apparatus (100) for detecting tampering of a package during multi-handler transit includes a Hall-effect magnetic field sensor (102) that generates a seal-state signal transitioning between states based on whether a magnetic field from a magnet element (104) at a seal closure exceeds a magnetic sensitivity threshold. A six-axis inertial sensor (106) measures linear acceleration and angular velocity along three mutually orthogonal axes. A hardware processor (108) detects seal-state signal transitions and generates a coincidence result by comparing inertial measurement signals against pre-stored threshold values within a coincidence time window. Upon threshold exceedance, the hardware processor (108) asserts a hardware load switch (110) to activate a satellite navigation receiver (112), acquiring geographic position coordinates and a tamper timestamp. A wireless transceiver (114) transmits a tamper alert data packet to a remote server (116), enabling real-time geographic attribution of tamper events to specific transit segments. FIG. 1
