GORE™ Tamper Respondent Surface Enclosure
GORE™ Tamper Respondent Technology offers secure, yet easy-to-adopt solutions to volume tamper protection. The GORE™ Tamper Respondent Surface Enclosure detects physical intrusions by sensing attempts to open, remove, or penetrate the envelope that it forms over the components to be protected. Detection typically triggers erasure of critical security information such as cryptographic keys or sensitive algorithms.

The GORE™ Tamper Respondent Surface Enclosure is designed to achieve a high level of physical security where space is at a premium and enclosure of an entire printed circuit board is not practical. The sensor is extremely low power and, being non-metallic, is impossible to analyze by X-ray. It is designed to detect penetration by drills and probes as well as by erosive and chemical attacks.
The GORE™ Tamper Respondent Technology is targeted to meet the requirements of FIPS 140-2, Level 3 and Level 4, DoD, NSA Type 1 security.
Features and Benefits
- Provides anti-tamper volume protection for a selected area of a printed circuit board
- Custom confi gured to fi t over devices or zones
- Enclosure acts as a tamper sensor that enables zeroization of critical keys or information stored within the protected zone
- Attempted removal or penetration (cutting, drilling) causes detectable permanent change in electrical state
- Minimizes size and space as compared to enclosing an entire board
- All-polymer sensor construction precludes X-ray analysis by an attacker
- Targeted at FIPS 140-2, Level 3 and Level 4, DoD, NSA Type 1 security
- Easy to monitor with low power consumption
- Easy to adopt design rules
- From the only commercial supplier of protection of secure electronics having many independent certifications
Applications
- Chip or board-level cryptographic security processors
- Single board computers or embedded systems having sensitive algorithms
- Highly secure wireless and wireline communications
- Access control systems
- Secure handheld devices
