The article discusses a new approach to verifying nuclear warheads by tracking and monitoring them in a closed system using sensors on handling, transportation, and security equipment. This verification method aims to increase confidence in data exchanges without compromising security, emphasizing the importance of data challenges and cryptographic techniques. The proposed closed system approach could be used for de-escalation, risk reduction, and mutual unilateral reductions, with a focus on transparency, accountability, and deterrence in nuclear arms control. The text also outlines the rights and obligations related to the use of national technical means for monitoring nuclear warheads and exchanging data between Parties.
