Claim 51:
52. A method for securely monitoring a shipping container for an environmental anomaly using elements of a wireless node network having at least a plurality of sensor-based ID nodes disposed within the shipping container and a command node associated with the shipping container, wherein the command node being operative to securely communicate with each of the sensor-based ID nodes, the method comprising:
monitoring, by the command node, signals broadcast from each of the sensor-based ID nodes, the monitored signals including sensor data generated from each of the sensor-based ID nodes;
identifying, by the command node, which of the sensor data is trusted sensor data based upon validation data included within each of the respective monitored signals that includes the sensor data, wherein the trusted sensor data including trusted chemical sensor data;
detecting, by the command node, the environmental anomaly for the shipping container based upon only the identified trusted sensor data; and
in response to detecting the environmental anomaly, initiating, by the command node, a mediation response related to the detected environmental anomaly.
