Abstract: A system and approach having security assurance for a controller relative to outside connections such as internet. The controller may have locked and exposed modes. A locked mode may mean that the system is correctly configured in that security related settings meet minimum standards. For example, the controller is protected through sufficiently strong user accounts and passwords whether entered or by default. Also, there may be an entity, such as person or organization that has responsibility for securing the controller against undesired intrusions. In the exposed mode, where the system may be incorrectly configured, the controller may shut down some or all of the functionality that has relevance to remote access. In the exposed mode, a built-in web server may show one or more screens that allow one to access the controller. There may be security indicators, such as lights that indicate whether the controller is exposed or locked.

Abstract: An electromagnetic radiation (EMR) receiver is located upon a printed circuit board (PCB) glass security layer. EMR flux is transmitted by the glass security layer and received by the EMR receiver. When the PCB is subject to a tamper event the EMR transmitted by glass security layer is increased. A monitoring device that monitors the flux or interference pattern of the EMR received by the EMR receiver detects a change in flux or interference pattern and passes a tamper signal to one or more computer system devices to respond to the tamper event. For example, one or more cryptographic adapter card or computer system functions or secured crypto components may be disabled.

A predetermined reference flux or interference pattern, respectively, is an expected flux or reflection pattern of EM emitted from the EM emitter, transmitted by the glass security layer, and received by the EM receiver. When the PCB is subject to an unauthorized access thereof the optical EM transmitted by glass security layer is altered. An optical monitoring device that monitors the flux or interference pattern of the optical EM received by the EM receiver detects a change in flux or interference pattern, in relation to the reference flux or reference interference pattern, respectively, and passes a tamper signal to one or more computer system devices to respond to the unauthorized access. For example, one or more cryptographic adapter card or computer system functions or secured crypto components may be disabled.
