Tamper Detection Sensors (Customized Product)

This sensor comes in the form of a custom designed, multi-layer laminate which can be wrapped or folded over or around the area to be protected. Once properly wrapped and connected, any attempt to physically open or penetrate the enclosure will be detected. Detection of a tamper attempt can be used to trigger the erasure of critical security information such as encryption keys or to render the overall system inoperable. These custom tamper detection sensors are designed to achieve FIPS 140-2 level 4 physical security compliance to meet your specific requirements.

TE’s tamper detection sensors can detect and report any breach of a physical perimeter that has been established around a defined asset.  This includes breach by cutting tools, drills, thermal attacks, projectiles, and chemical attacks. It can also detect and report any attempt to remove, alter, bypass, disconnect, or disturb the tamper detection sensor itself. This includes interference from solvents, mechanical peeling, short circuit, rewire, and alteration of output signals.
