A tamper sensing system mounted with respect to a protected structure so as to have corresponding stress changes occur therein in response to selected kinds of tamperings with said protected structure comprising a first pair of stress affected magnetoresistive memory devices each capable of having a magnetic material layer therein established in a selected one of a pair of alternative magnetization states if in a first kind of stress condition and of being established in a single magnetization state if in an alternative second kind of stress condition, and the magnetic material layer in each having a magnetization in a first direction in one of the pair of alternative magnetization states and in a second direction in that remaining one of the pair of magnetization states. A first magnetizing electrical conductor extends adjacent to each of the first pair of stress affected magnetoresistive memory devices to establish said magnetic material layer in that one of said pair of alternative magnetization states thereof so as to have its said corresponding magnetization be oppositely directed with respect to said magnetization of that other. The first pair of stress affected magnetoresistive memory devices can each be provided by a spin dependent tunneling device having differing numbers of magnetization states available thereto depending on whether being in differing ones of alternative stress conditions. |
