Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a locally powered smart device. A non-limiting example of the locally powered smart device includes a sensor, an energy storage communicatively coupled to the sensor, a processor communicatively coupled to the sensor and the energy storage. The processor is configured to control the sensor and the energy storage to perform multiple iterations of a tamper mitigation process, wherein each of the multiple iterations of the tamper mitigation process includes an authentication process that includes the transmission of authentication communications between the sensor and the energy storage. The processor is further configured to initiate an anti-tampering protocol based at least in part on a determination that the authentication process was unsuccessful.
