Abstract
A tamper response mechanism introduces a delayed failure into a program in response to detected tampering with the program. The mechanism determines a manner of responding to the detected tampering. The manner of responding may include corrupting a global pointer or using other techniques. The mechanism also determines when to respond to the tampering and implements the response at the determined time.
