Title: Patrick Schaumont and Electronic Tampering Detection
Introduction
Patrick Schaumont is an inventor associated with Worcester, Massachusetts, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute. His patent work addresses the security of computing devices against physical tampering.
Latest Patents
Schaumont is credited with 1 patent: “Electronic tampering detection.” The invention describes a method for detecting physical attacks on a computing device by embedding a sensor or field-programmable gate array (FPGA) on a circuit board. The device gathers the frequency response of the board’s power distribution network during operation, then compares a suspected tampering response with responses associated with known tampering events. This comparison supports a determination of whether tampering has occurred.
Career Highlights
Schaumont’s listed affiliation is Worcester Polytechnic Institute. His patent illustrates an approach to hardware security that uses changes in a circuit board’s electrical behavior to help identify physical attacks.
Collaborations
Among Schaumont’s listed coworkers are Shahin Tajik and Tahoura Mosavirik.
Conclusion
Patrick Schaumont’s patent on electronic tampering detection reflects his work on identifying physical attacks through power-network frequency responses, in connection with Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
