TAMPER RESISTANCE EXTENSION VIA TAMPER SENSING MATERIAL HOUSING INTEGRATION

摘要

Systems and apparatuses disclosed herein provide for a tamper resistant electronic device. The electronic device can include a circuit board, a shell, an anti-tamper material, a memory, one or more sensors, and tamper responsive electronics. The one or more sensors can be configured to sense when the shell moves away from the circuit board. The anti-tamper material can be about the first portion of the shell and disposed to protect the memory, one or more sensors, and the tamper responsive electronics. The tamper responsive electronics on the circuit board can be coupled to the anti-tamper material and the one or more sensors, and can be configured to zeroize data in the memory if tampering is sensed by the anti-tamper material or if one or more of the one or more sensors sense the shell has moved away from the circuit board.

主权项

1. An electronic device comprising:
a circuit board; a shell covering the circuit board; a plurality of electronics mounted on the circuit board and covered by the shell, the plurality of electronics including:
a memory;one or more sensors configured to sense when the shell covering the circuit board moves away from the circuit board; andtamper responsive electronics coupled to the one or more sensors and configured to zeroize data in the memory if one or more of the one or more sensors sense that the shell has moved away from the circuit board; an anti-tamper material about a first portion of the shell and disposed to protect the memory, the one or more sensors, and the tamper responsive electronics, wherein a second portion of the shell does not include the anti-tamper material; and wherein the anti-tamper material is coupled to the tamper responsive electronic and the tamper responsive electronics are configured to zeroize data in the memory if tampering is sensed by the anti-tamper material.
