摘要:
A system may include a first connector housing, a magnetic data storage device mechanically coupled to the first connector housing, a second connector housing configured to be mechanically engaged with the first connector housing, and a permanent magnet mechanically coupled to the second cavity. In some examples, relative motion between the magnetic data storage device and the permanent magnetic causes data stored on the magnetic data storage device to be modified. In one example, the system further includes a printed board assembly mechanically coupled to one of the first or second connector housings and a master interconnect board mechanically coupled to the other one of the first or connector housings. Modification to the data stored on the magnetic data storage device may indicate relative movement between the first and second connector housings.

In one embodiment, a system comprises JTAG functionality that implements at least a portion of a JTAG protocol. The JTAG functionality supports a test data in (TDI) line, a test data out (TDO) line, a test rest (TR) line, a test mode state (TMS) line, and a test clock (TCLK) line. The system further comprises a debug interface to communicatively couple the system to a debug device external to the system. The debug interface comprises a transmit (TX) line, receive (RX) line, and a clock (CLK) line. The system transmits data output by the JTAG functionality on the TDI input on the RX line of the debug interface and receives data from the debug device on the TX line of the debug interface and provides the received data to the JTAG functionality on the TDO line, TR line and the TMS line.

In one embodiment, a system comprises debug functionality, a debug interface communicatively coupled to the debug functionality, and a hardware key interface. Communication with the debug functionality over the debug interface is not permitted if an authorized hardware key is not communicatively coupled to the hardware key interface.

A tamper-indicating assembly includes a container formed by a plurality of walls and a door mechanically coupled to at least one of the walls via a hinge. At least one cable extends at least partially through the hinge between the door and the at least one wall. The cable transmits a signal, and the assembly can identify potential tamper events related to opening and closing of the door based on changes in properties of the transmitted signal. Techniques for forming the assembly are also described.

Systems and methods for protecting electronic and other sensitive devices in the event of security breaches such as physical intrusion or access, tampering, and attempts at reverse engineering. One aspect of the present invention provides security systems and methods that utilize an active security measure that can identify a security breach and respond with a protective action. Protective actions may include erasure or randomizing of data or software, activation of an alarm or signal (such as at a remote location), or destruction of any portion of a protected device or circuit or the like.

A passive optical anti-tamper system including one or more light pipes, one or more light detectors and an alarm. The light pipes each include an input end and an output end and are located within a chassis with the one or more light detectors. The one or more light detectors are optically coupled to the output ends of the one or more light pipes. The alarm is operable to transmit a tamper-event-warning signal if an increased light level is detected by at least one detector.

A method of recognizing a tamper event is provided. The method uses an optical medium having a unique signature, and transmits at least one light wave into the optical medium. The light wave is altered by the unique signature of the optical medium and at least one property of the light wave is measured. Access to at least a portion of a system is conditioned based on the at least one property of the light wave.
