    Abstract: Devices and methods for optical-based tamper detection using variable light characteristics are disclosed. In one embodiment, an electronic device may include a housing, a light source within the housing configured to emit light having an output light characteristic that is variable, a light detector within the housing configured to receive the light emitted by the light source, the light received by the light detector having a received light characteristic, and an optoelectric controller in communication with the light source and the light detector, wherein the optoelectric controller controls the output light characteristic, and compares the received light characteristic to a known received light characteristic.

    Abstract: Secure touchscreen devices are disclosed. In one embodiment, a secure touchscreen assembly may include a first patterned conductive layer comprising a first touch sensing grid and a first tamper sensing grid, the first tamper sensing grid disposed in areas of the first conductive layer where the first touch sensing grid is not present and is not in physical contact with the first touch sensing grid, and tamper sensing circuitry coupled to the first tamper sensing grid that detects a tamper by detecting change in conductivity in the first tamper sensing grid.

    Abstract: A data entry device including a housing formed of at least two portions, data entry circuitry located within the housing, at least one case-open switch assembly operative to sense when the housing is opened and tamper indication circuitry operative to receive an input from the at least one case-open switch assembly and to provide an output indication of possible tampering with the data entry circuitry located within the housing. The at least one case-open switch assembly includes an arrangement of electrical contacts arranged on a base surface and a resiliently deformable conductive element, which defines a short circuit between at least some of the arrangement of electrical contacts only when the housing is closed.
