Abstract
A card reader tampering detector includes at least one sensor and a detector circuit coupled to the sensor(s). The detector circuit is configured to receive a sensor output from the sensor(s) when the sensor is inserted into a smartcard reader. The detector circuit is further configured to detect, from the sensor output, the presence of an unauthorized device within the smartcard reader, and provide an output signal indicative of the presence of the unauthorized device within the smartcard reader.
