Abstract
A computing device includes an intrusion switch and a battery-backed volatile memory. The battery-backed volatile memory is configured to indicate a physical intrusion when the physical intrusion is detected by the intrusion switch. The triggering of the intrusion switch interrupts a power supply to the battery-backed volatile memory. A method of detecting hardware intrusion in a computing device is also described.
