A method and system for destroying information stored on a data storage device located onboard a vehicle in order to prevent unfriendly forces from obtaining the information is described. The method and system are initiated when the operator of the vehicle activates a triggering mechanism. The information may be destroyed by physically damaging the data storage device on which the information is stored or by releasing a software virus into the device on which the sensitive information is stored. A software virus may also be transmitted to a computer of an unfriendly force attempting to access the sensitive information.

Method and apparatus for erasure of data from a data storage device located on a vehicle

An optical fiber includes an interlocking microstructure formed on an outer periphery of the fiber that configures the fiber to be interlocked with another optical fiber including a complementary interlocking microstructure coating.

Interlocking optical fiber

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.

Methods and systems for recognizing tamper events

A secure insert comprises a shell including a lid and a container configured to receive and encase one or more circuit cards, wherein the shell is further configured to be inserted into and engage a card slot area of a chassis. A bridge connector is disposed inside the shell and configured to couple the one or more circuit cards to a chassis connector. A tamper sensor is disposed inside the shell and configured to detect unauthorized tamper events.

Card slot anti-tamper protection system

A secure connector is provided. The secure connector comprises a casing; a tamper sensor disposed inside the casing and configured to detect unauthorized tamper events; and one or more conductors configured to carry signals, the one or more conductors passing through the tamper sensor.

Secure connector with integrated tamper sensors

An anti-tamper enclosure system comprises an optical medium; at least one photosensitive sensor configured to measure at least one characteristic of a light wave transmitted in the optical medium; at least one logic circuit coupled to the at least one photosensitive sensor, the at least one logic circuit configured to initiate security measures when the at least one characteristic of the light wave changes; an enclosure coupled to the optical medium and configured to enclose the optical medium, the at least one photosensitive sensor, and the at least one logic circuit; and a plurality of attachment posts configured to be coupled to a printed circuit board, wherein at least one of the plurality of attachment posts is also coupled to the optical medium.

Anti-tamper enclosure system comprising a photosensitive sensor and optical medium

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.

Method and system to detect tampering of a closed chassis using a passive fiber optic sensor

An optical anti-tamper system including a light emitting layer located within a chassis, a light detecting layer located within the chassis and one or more detectors optically coupled to the light detecting layer. The one or more detectors are in communication with an alarm. The alarm is operable to transmit a tamper-event warning signal if an increased light level is detected by at least one detector.

Method and system to detect tampering using light detector

An optical anti-tamper system that includes at least one array of light sources located within a chassis and at least one array of photosensitive elements located within the chassis. The array of photosensitive elements are in communication with an alarm. The alarm is operable to transmit a tamper-event warning signal if an increased light level is detected by at least one array of photosensitive elements.

An adaptor for dispensing a liquid into a container is provided. The adaptor includes a sleeve having an outer surface and an inner surface. The adapter also includes an opening passing through the outer surface and inner surface of the sleeve. The adapter further includes a pipe having a first and a second end, the first end attached to the opening. The adapter also includes a sealing lid removably disposed over the second end of the pipe.
