Introduction
Welcome to the Remotely Monitored Seal Array (RMSA) system provided by Canberra and
Sandia National Labs. RMSA was designed to meet the needs of a large base of Users who
require more data storage features, better RF performance, longer battery life, enhanced
security and other more powerful functions. Figure 1 provides a pictorial representation of how
the RMSA System fits within the Secure Sensor Platform (SSP) product family constellation in
terms of its complexity and shared capabilities.

The RMSA Seal monitors a fiber optic loop, records tamper events, provides autonomous and
requested State of Health via encrypted and authenticated messages. This information is
stored in the Seal, remotely via the RMSA Translator and reviewed through the Remote
Review Application. The Authenticated Switch version of the Seal includes magnetic sensors
and activating magnets such that a pair of Authenticate Switch Seals can be used to create a
balanced magnetic switch suitable for monitoring doors, containers and other articles where
one surface moves away from another under authorized conditions.
