Systems and apparatus disclosed herein provide for a tamper resistant electronic device. The electronic device can include a circuit board, a shell, an anti-tamper material, a memory, one or more sensors, and tamper responsive electronics. The one or more sensors can be configured to sense when the shell moves away from the circuit board. The anti-tamper material can be integrated into the first portion of the shell and disposed to protect the memory, one or more sensors, and the tamper responsive electronics. The tamper responsive electronics on the circuit board can be coupled to the anti-tamper material and the one or more sensors, and can be configured to zeroize data in the memory if tampering is sensed by the anti-tamper material or if one or more of the one or more sensors sense the shell has moved away from the circuit board.

Tamper resistance extension via tamper sensing material housing integration

Systems and apparatus disclosed herein provide for heat dissipation from a chip protected by an anti-tamper material. An example electronic device includes a circuit board having electronics mounted thereon, and a security shield covering one or more electronics on the circuit board and configured to sense tampering, the one or more electronics including a chip, the security shield defining an aperture. The device also includes a heat sink extending through the aperture and thermally coupling with the chip, the heat sink extending outside of the security shield.

Heat dissipation for a chip protected by an anti-tamper background

Systems and apparatuses disclosed herein provide for a tamper resistant electronic device. The electronic device can include a circuit board, housing, a security shield, one or more pressure sensitive switches, and security electronics. The security shield can cover a first area of the circuit board and be configured to sense tampering. The security shield can also be integrated into the first part of the housing, wherein a second area of the circuit board is covered by the housing and is outside of the security shield, both the first area and the second area having electronics therein. The security electronics on the circuit board can be coupled to the security shield and the one or more pressure switches, and can be configured to zeroize data stored on the circuit board if the security shield senses tampering or if one or more of the one or more pressure sensitive switches is disengaged.
