Abstract: A netcentric architecture is provided for securely communicating and processing secure data between centrally located server devices and user devices over a network. A centrally located server device in the netcentric architecture may include a core application used to process requests from the user devices. The requests and the processing of the requests may involve the secure data. A security architecture layer may be provided to restrict access to the core application and maintain security of the secure data. The security architecture layer may further monitor and record the secure data communicated using the netcentric architecture.

Abstract: A method and system for use by a Customs Agency for clearing shipments of goods into a country is disclosed. A customs resource application may be used to integrate alert information, news, research, and communications capabilities. Customs inspectors may use the resource application with a conventional computer, or with a portable device in the field as they perform customs inspections. The portable device provides access to alert information regarding shipments that are to be inspected by the inspector, and provides alert resolution capabilities so that the inspector can clear shipments into the country from the location of the inspection and/or shipped goods without requiring the inspector to return to a field office to clear the goods.
